Usually in rich, even swampy, deciduous forests.
Frequently said to be distinguished in the field from T. flexipes (and other species) by the strong fetid “wet-dog” odor; however, this odor is noted also in plants which otherwise have all the characteristics of T. flexipes. The white-flowered form (with dark or pale ovary) [f. albiflorum R. Hoffm.] and the yellow-flowered form [f. luteum Louis-Marie] are both known from Michigan.
