Predominantly east of the Mississippi is the range of the Late Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).
Specifically, the wild orchid grows as far northeastward as Maine. It is found as far southeastward as Florida. It ranges as far southwestward as Texas and as far northwestward as across the Mississippi and into southeastern Nebraska.
Purple is the bloom color of the Late Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, the sepals and side petals exhibit purple tinting on a range of colors from pale green to yellow. They form a hood over this wild orchid's short lip. Purple streaks the lip's otherwise white surface.
East of the Mississippi River is the range of the Spring Coral Root Orchid (Cypripedium reginae).Specifically, the wild orchid ranges as far northeastward as Maine. It grows southwestward to northern Alabama. It extends northwestward from Missouri, across the Mississippi River and into North Dakota.
East of the Mississippi River is the range of the Early Southern Coral Root Orchid (Cypripedium reginae).Specifically, the wild orchid ranges as far northeastward as Maine. It grows southwestward to northern Alabama. It extends northwestward from Missouri, across the Mississippi River and into North Dakota.
August to October is the bloom time of the Late Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, this wild orchid blooms from late summer into mid-autumn. It is easy to pass by before, during and after the bloom. For example, its small flowers tend not to open at all on this slender plant whose colors harmonize with its surroundings.
Predominantly east of the Mississippi is the range of the Small Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, the wild orchid grows as far northeastward as Maine. It is found as far southeastward as Florida. It ranges as far southwestward as Texas and as far northwestward as across the Mississippi and into southeastern Nebraska.
Predominantly east of the Mississippi is the range of the Autumn Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, the wild orchid grows as far northeastward as Maine. It is found as far southeastward as Florida. It ranges as far southwestward as Texas and as far northwestward as across the Mississippi and into southeastern Nebraska.
East of the Mississippi River is the range of the Crested Coral Root Orchid (Hexalectris spicata).Specifically, the wild orchid ranges as far northeast as Maryland. It may be found growing as far southeastward as Florida. It also can be found in Arizona, Arkansas and Missouri.
Dry woodlands is the habitat of the Late Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, this wild orchid can tolerate drought. It likes the nutrient rich soils that form from decomposing leaf litter in woodlands. It also prefers the filtered light in such environments of layered growth of vegetation from ground level up through the tree canopy.
August to October is the bloom time of the Small Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, this wild orchid blooms from late summer through about halfway into fall. It is easy to pass by before, during and after the bloom. The small flowers tend not to open at all on this slender wild orchid whose colors harmonize with its surroundings.
Late March to May is the bloom time of the Spring Coral Root Orchid (Corallorhiza wisteriana).Specifically, this wild orchid blooms from early spring until early summer. The plant body parts merge seamlessly with their woodsy surroundings. But the white spotted bloom stands out in the plant's shaded environment.
Autumn Coral Root is the common name of Corallorhiza odontorhiza.Specifically, the common name honors the wild orchid's late summer into mid-fall bloom. It also emphasizes the overall coral cast of the plant, particularly in terms of its tall, yellow to purplish bronze stems. Other common names include Late Coral Root and Small Coral Root.
Corallorhiza odontorhiza is the scientific, Latin or binomial name of the Late Coral Root.Specifically, a scientific name includes at least two names. The first part is the genus of the coral root orchids, Corallorhiza. The second part is the species of toothed root orchids within that genus, odontorhiza. This scientific name also may be found linked with the Autumn Coral Root and the Small Coral Root, which are other common names for the very same plant.
