Despite its common name, Parnassia grandifolia (Celastrales - Celastraceae)
is not a grass, but a perennial herb, forming clusters of slightly
succulent, shiny leaves. Its large, white flowers with green veins and
bright orange anthers are really beautiful. Parnassia grandifolia is
native to central and south eastern US. It grows in alkaline seeps and
is an indicator of rich, old forest.
