Corallorhiza wisteriana
Corallorhiza wisteriana, the spring coralroot or Wister's coralroot, is a species of coralroot orchid. It is widespread through much of Mexico as well as parts of the United States (Rocky Mountains, Appalachians, the Southeast, and the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys).
Spring coralroot blooms as early as December in Florida through early spring in other parts of the country. The flowers generally only last a few hours.
Spring coralroot is native to a wide area of North America from southern Mexico to Montana in the United States. In Mexico it can be found in the southeastern state of Chiapas and the southwestern states of Colima, Jalisco, Michoacán, and Oaxaca. In central Mexico it grow in the capital Ciudad de Mexico, the State of Mexico, Morelos, and Tlaxcala. To the northeast it is part of the flora of Coahuila, Chihuahua, Hidalgo, and Nuevo León, but is only found in Baja California Sur and Sonora in the northwest.
