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]
