Dry (oak, hickory, sassafras) or sometimes moist forests and openings. A statuesque, monocarpic plant, with a large rosette of broad, light green leaves for a number of years; often 2 m tall when flowering and fruiting. A Charlevoix Co. specimen (C. W. Fallass 457, MICH) is not mapped; it lacks a date and most other details, and is so out of range as to suggest a label error. We follow Hagen & Kadereit (2002) in keeping Frasera separate from Swertia.
