HABITAT 



As described by Shelly (1989), this species often occurs in moist soils and poorly 

 drained swales, most often in open meadows; but, it has also been found on steeper 

 open (moist) slopes, and within the forest edge adjacent to meadows. In the latter case 

 only the white form of variety flava has been found. Populations of C. lanceolata var. 

 flava have been found as low as 5300 ft., and as high as 8200 ft. in elevation.
