ORIGIN/HABITAT: The United States. The area of distribution extends
eastward from east Texas, southern Arkansas, northward just west of the
Mississippi River to southern Canada and includes the entire region east
of the Mississippi from Florida to southeastern Canada, including
Newfoundland. In the north, plants are found in sunny marshes and bogs
where the small corm is buried rather shallowly in the moist, rich, acid
soil or moss. In the south, plants may be found in pinelands with the corm
buried rather deeply in sandy soil.
