Has.: On ground at roots of trees and near old stumps. July. 
Rance: Maryland, Banning ; Connecticut, Farle. 
I have not seen the the type specimens which were found by 
Miss Banning in Maryland. Earle’s Connecticut plants differ 
from Miss Banning’s description only in their somewhat darker 
color.
