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 in savannas, sandhill seeps, and in bogs within mountain regions. [3]
Ecology
Habitat
C. tuberosus is common in savannas, sandhill seeps, floating peat mats, and other regions during April to September. [3]
A variety of habitats that this orchid can been found include, marl prairies, pine flatwoods, roadsides, fens, and bogs. [4]
Specimens of C. tuberosus have been collected from moist loamy sand of savanna like longleaf pine regions, and wet seepage areas. [5]
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. [6]
Pollination
C. tuberosus does not provide a benefi to pollinators, due to this aspect they use decit to get pollinators to come. Bees land on fake stamens which causes the structure to collapse and transfer pollen to the bee. .[7]
Conservation and Management
In 2015, the C. tuberosus was considered endangered in the Illinois region. [8]
