Name that plant!
Hello, Gardeners. I live in northern Illinois. I have a rain garden filled with mostly natives. I found this little plant growing in the shade of the willow tree. It is about 12 inches high. It has an arching habit like a small Solomon's seal, but the leaves are toothed around the edges. No sign of flowers, but it is in the shade. Any thoughts?

The leaf reminds me somewhat of snakeroot (Actaea species), but I believe those are opposite and yours appears to be alternate. But it would certainly be happy in a moist shady spot.
