The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Western North America, with the area of distribution
extending from just north of the Canadian border in British Colombia to
the Pacific coast in the west and the Rocky Mountains in the east. The
range and then extends southward to include Washington, Oregon, most of
California, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, the western parts of Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, with the habitat continuing
southward into the mountains of northern Mexico. Plants are found from
near sea level along the coast to about 8000 ft. (2440 m). They are found
in areas where there is a constant supply of water, such as along seepage
banks and around springs, and are often found along the banks of streams,
on sand and gravel bars where they are inundated during high water, and
may even be found anchored in stream beds. In the colder, more northern
regions or high elevation habitats, plants are often found around hot
springs. This orchid is neither rare or common, but where conditions are
suitable, it may be abundant and found in very large colonies.
