Moneses uniflora (Single Delight)
Pyrolaceae (Wintergreen Family)

Linnaeus named this species Pyrola uniflora in 1753, Richard Salisbury (1761-1829) created the Moneses genus probably in the late 1700s, Thomas Nuttall renamed Pyrola uniflora to Moneses reticulata in 1843, and Asa Gray gave it its present name in 1848.  "Moneses" is a combination of the Greek "monos" ("one") and "hesis" ("delight").
