(Turtlehead (Chelone glabra) - 03) The turtlehead got its name because the corolla looks something like the head of a turtle, which is also reflected in the scientific name "chelone," which in Greek means "tortoise."  In this photo, we can also see the short stems on the leaves where they branch off from the stalk.
