|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nartheciaceae | Aletris aurea | Golden Colic-root | Pine savannas, seepage bogs, pine flatwoods. | S. MD south to ne. FL, Panhandle FL, west to e. TX and se. OK. | |
| Nartheciaceae | Aletris bracteata | Bracted Colic-root | Pine rocklands, marl prairies. | S. peninsular FL; Bahamas. | |
| Nartheciaceae | Aletris farinosa | Northern White Colic-root, Mealy Colic-root, Stargrass | Pine savannas, pine flatwoods, seepage bogs, mafic fens and barrens, upland hardpan woodlands and savannas, roadbanks. | S. ME, s. ON, and se. MN south to s. GA, FL (Wunderlin & Hansen 2011), LA (and e. TX), the only species of the genus not restricted (or very nearly so) to the Coastal Plain. |  |
| Nartheciaceae | Aletris lutea | Yellow Colic-root | Wet pine savannas. | E. GA (in immediate proximity to the SC border) south to s. FL, and west to e. LA (Weigant 2002); disjunct in w. LA (Sorrie & LeBlond 2008) and recently verified in se. NC (R. Thornhill, pers. comm. 2012) (another specimen collected in se. NC has recently been annotated as A. lutea, but it appears to be A. farinosa). The report by Fernald (1950) of A. lutea Small as far north as se. VA is probably in error. |  |
| Nartheciaceae | Aletris obovata | Southern White Colic-root | Pine savannas. | Se. SC south to c. peninsular FL, west to e. Panhandle FL. |
