Intro: Scapose perennial from a short, thick rhizome, found in pine savannas, seepage bogs and pine flatwoods.

Stems: Stem an unbranched, mostly naked (a few small, linear bracts) flowering scape that rises from the center of a leaf rosette.

Leaves: Leaves in a flattish basal rosette, elliptic to lance-shaped, 3/4-3 in. long, bright green.

Inforescence:

Flowers: Flowers in a single spike-like raceme at top of scape, yellow to orange-yellow, about 1/4 in. long, tubular-cylindric and lacking a constriction, nearly closed at the tip and granular on the outside.

Fruits:

Comments: Similar to Aletris lutea (pp. xx), whose pale yellow flowers are longer and are almost always open at the mouth of the corolla tube.

Height: 7-26 in.
