I knew when I saw this plant it was in the genus Pyrola in the wintergreen family (Pyrolaceae), but my key is based on flowers and this wintergreen is in the fruiting stage. Fortunately, the wonders of the Internet made it possible to narrow it down to greenflowered wintergreen (Pyrola chlorantha). Leaves are simple and entire with white veins.
It grows through much of North America except the southeast.
