| A local botanist told me it was pipsissewa, which my dictionary says is wintergreen. |
| Growing alongside of it you are very likely to find the pipsissewa, with its beautiful perfume and ever-green leaves. |
| The plants called pipsissewa are not related and are not a source of the wintergreen fragrance. |
| The mystery ground cover is probably striped pipsissewa, C. maculata, which can spread into large carpets in the right ecosystem: humus-rich, acidic soil, under the shade of mature trees. |
| Pipsissewa improves kidney and liver function by helping the body eliminate excess fluids. |
| At age 10, I knew where the pipsissewa came up in spring, where the wild azalea bloomed, where to look for mayapples and mint. |
