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 habitat extends southward from southeastern Ontario in Canada through New York along the eastern seaboard to northeastern North Carolina and then arcs westward through extreme northern Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi where it curves through the extreme northeastern corner of Arkansas and continues northward through Missouri, eastern Iowa to southeastern Minnesota. The northern limit of the range appears to be across southern Wisconsin eastward across the southern Great Lakes region and Pennsylvania and then back into southeastern Ontario. These plants reportedly were once found fairly frequently in the dense deciduous forests that blanketed most of its area of distribution. As the eastern forests have disappeared, however, so has Aplectrum hyemale until it is now found only rarely outside the wooded regions that still exist in the southern states.
