Description

A description of Platanthera integra is provided in The Flora of North America.

Distribution

Plantanthera integra is endemic to an area from southeastern New Jersey and Delaware to eastern North and South Carolina, but there is a disjunction between the Carolinas and New Jersey-Delaware, and disjunct populations in the Eastern Highland Rim and Cumberland Plateau regions of Tennessee and Kentucky.[1]

Ecology

Habitat

P. integra has been found in moist pinelands, low pinelands, sphagnous bogs, prairies, and pine barrens.[2][3] It is also found in disturbed areas like along roadsides.[4]

Phenology

P. integra has been observed flowering in February, and from July to October.[5]

Fire ecology

Populations of Platanthera integra have been known to persist through repeated annual burning.[6]
