Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.
The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

Rich deciduous forests, both on upland and floodplain sites, especially characteristic in moist areas of beech-maple-hemlock stands.
The broad green leaves appear in May and often carpet extensive areas. The reddish color of the leaf bases (and also the inflorescence bud) allows easy separation from A. burdickii, except for very rare “albinos” of A. tricoccum (such as E. G. Voss 6258, Gogebic Co.). The umbels of white flowers appear in very late June through to early August, when the leaves are quite gone. All parts of the plant, but especially the bulbs, have a strong odor of onion.
