Foxglove beardtongue. This white relative of hairy beardtongue and fellow member of the snapdragon family has three equal petals below, and two differently-shaped petals on top. Its lance-shaped leaves grow opposite from one another up the stalk.
Technically I'm not certain it is "foxglove" beardtongue - there are several white beardtongues in our area, but they are so close to one another that they can only be distinguished on extremely technical characteristics.
Growing on the west side of the Lake, Central Park.
