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: North America. The widespread distribution extends from
extreme eastern Alaska along the border with the Yukon Territory of
western Canada with the northern limit arcing southeastward across Canada
to Quebec and Newfoundland. Distribution extends southward into southeast
Alaska and British Colombia, with a finger of habitat extending into
eastern Washington, Oregon, and northern Idaho in the Pacific northwest.
The southern boundary of distribution follows fairly closely along the U.
S. Canadian border to North Dakota where it curves abruptly southward into
Texas and Louisiana where it then curves northeastward through the
southern and eastern states and the eastern provinces of Canada to
Newfoundland. There is an isolated area of habitat in Arizona, New Mexico,
and Colorado.
Plants are found in woods where they grow in partial shade in well-drained
but heavy, damp, humus-rich soils. They are also found on rocky hillsides,
along streams, in meadows and clearings, in shallow depressions in peaty
soil on treeless limestone barrens, and in talus of limestone cliffs.
Plants seem to thrive in limestone areas, but the soils usually are
neutral to slightly acidic. Habitat elevation throughout the range varies
from near sea level to as high as 6550 ft. (0-2000 m).
