Panax quinquefolius

I think the Panax shown on the wiki is not Panax quinquefolius, it’s the
“other” eastern North American Panax, Panax trifolius.

Panax trifolius is a much smaller plant than P. quinquefolius. It’s a lot
more common, too, perhaps because so few people recognize it for what it
really is.
