Information is summarized from MNFI's database of rare species and community occurrences. Data may not reflect true distribution since much of the state has not been thoroughly surveyed.
Habitat
Occurs in gravelly or rocky Great Lakes shores, woods, thickets, mesic southern forests and in dune complexes.
Natural Community Types
Associated Plants
Beech, sugar maple, basswood, tulip poplar, white ash, bitternut hickory, wild leek, ginger, cut-leaved toothwort, dutchman's breeches, yellow trout lily, Virginia waterleaf, false rue anemone, woodland phlox, herb-robert, common trillium, ginseng, goldenseal, hemlock, spotted wintergreen, bracted orchid, ticklegrass, yarrow, bearberry, marsh bellflower, pale Indian paintbrush, hair grass, spike-rush, butterwort, ninebark, silverweed, dwarf Canadian primrose, and wild rose.
Management
This species requires soil disturbance. Where found along shorelines, protection of habitat and perpetuation of natural disturbance (winter ice, storms, wind) and long-term hydrological regimes is beneficial. Where found in inland mesic forests, a moderate amount of disturbance is likely tolerable, but large scale clear cutting is not recommended.
General Survey Guidelines
Random meander search covers areas that appear likely to have rare taxa, based on habitat and the judgment of the investigator.
Survey Methods
- Meander search
Survey Period: From first week of June to fourth week of September
Survey Comments: Soil disturbance stimulates emergence
