Aplectrum hyemale species of orchid native to the eastern United States and Canada , from Oklahoma east to the Carolinas and north to Minnesota , Ontario , Quebec and Massachusetts .[1] Appalachian Mountains , the Great Lakes Region , and the Ohio and Upper Mississippi Valleys . Isolated populations are also reported from Arizona .[2]
Aplectrum hyemale is the sole species of the genus Aplectrum Greek and signifies "spurless". The species is commonly referred to as Adam and Eve or putty root ; the latter refers to the mucilaginous fluid which can be removed from the tubers when they are crushed.[citation needed
Aplectrum hyemale spreads underground through the growth of its tubers, forming large colonies. The leaves appear in late November and persist until March. They are uniquely pin-striped, with parallel alternating silvery-white and green stripes. In late May or early June the flower stalk emerges carrying several flowers, each only a few millimeters across.[3] Tipularia discolor [4] [5]
There exists a color variation, Aplectrum hyemale var. pallidum which differs in flower color.[6]
