Hi Rick,
My 1977 AMC "Mountain Flowers of New England" has Geocaulon lividum
(Northern Commandra) "around the margins of the tableland of Katahdin". I
found G. umbellatum under a powerline in Sherborn MA in th 60's. I wonder
which plants these are parasitic on? Anyway, can't manage the trip but wish
you luck with your search.
Anne
