Corallorhiza wisteriana, the spring coralroot, arousing 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).[1][2][3][4]
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.
This plant prefers leaf litter in woodland areas and is mycotrophic.
