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: 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.
