puttyroot
Puttyroot is a type of North American orchid (Aplectrum hyemale) that grows in hardwood forests. It features green leaves with white veins which usually appear in the fall and last until spring, when it produces a tall flower spike with greenish-brown flowers. It gets its name from the mucilaginous substance found in its roots which early settlers reportedly used as a kind of putty. It's also known as Adam and Eve orchid.

an American orchidaceous plant (Aplectrum hyemale) which flowers in early summer. Its slender naked rootstock produces each year a solid corm, filled with exceedingly glutinous matter, which sends up later a single large oval evergreen plaited leaf. Called also Adam-and-Eve
