Phenology
P. canadensis has been observed flowering March through May. [4] STEMS: unbranched, up to 20 cm tall. LEAVES: deeply dissected, 10 cm long, 4 cm wide, most of the leaves clustered at the base of the stem. FLOWERS: borne in dense heads, two-lipped, 2 cm long, 0.5 cm wide. CAPSULE: 1 cm long, enclosed by green sepals. SEEDS: about 10 per capsule 5 mm long, brown. [5]
