Wildflowers: tiny white flowers, plant id?

found in wooded area

mostly shade

tiny white flowers on one stem

soil: clay

blooming now

close up picture shows the developing fruit/seed - here still white

 

Maybe Aletris farinosa, but the leaves of your plant are broad.
???

 

Can't be Aletris, as that is a monocot with parallel leaf veins, whereas the mystery plant is a dicot. Sorry, don't know what it is though.

 

Look at guides to wild plants of your state or region.

 

thanks to all the posts
I will check with our extension county agent
and keep you updated

 

still have not gotten a positive id

 

Phryma leptostachya, after petal fall but before the fruits are fully developed?

 

Leaves do not match: on the photo leaves are basal and entire, whereas Phryma leaves are cauline and serrate.

 

Thanks, Andrey, you're right.

 

How about Tovara virginianum?

 

thanks Daniel and Andrey for your posts

 

Steph77: your suggestion was great - you id the plant-

the plant in question is also called knotweed or jumpseed, scientific name: polygonum virginianum

I just went out and took more pictures, the leaves are changing color and are yellow now and the long stem carries many seeds

thank you all for your help and interest

I think it's an interesting plant in the woods
