Chimaphila maculata (Striped wintergreen) on the left and Mitchella repens (Partridge berry) on the right. These leaves stay green all winter. Their habitat is acid soils, in this case the soil is derived from the sandstone bedrock.
On high ground near the cliff, at Fern Cliff Nature Preserve, Putnam County. Nov. 11, 2017.
