Description

C. tuberosus is a perennial forb/herb in the Orchidaceae family native to North America. [1]


Distribution

Found along the east coast of the United States and Canada into the center of North America, the C. tuberosus is common is savannas, sandhill seeps, and in bog within mountain regions. [2]

Ecology

Habitat

Seed bank and germination

Generally, warmer temperatures produce more seedling germination for the C. tuberosus with the exception of Michigan where cooler temperatures resulted in more germination. Also, fluctuating temperatures are more beneficial than stagnant temperatures. [3]
