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: Southeastern United States. This terrestrial orchid occurs in the coastal regions from the central Texas coast eastward through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and all of Florida. Distribution then extends northward along the Atlantic coast to as far north as extreme southeastern Virginia. One form grows in the rich, acid humus in full shade in wet woods, often standing in shallow water. Another form grows in full sun in grassy, alkaline marshes and wet prairies. No one seems to have bothered to describe the differences between these two forms other than in the differences in their habitats.
