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.

Usually in rich deciduous forests, often on hillsides, ranging from upland beech-maple and hemlock-hardwoods to moist floodplain forests and streamside thickets, but also in oak forests and rarely under pine or in moist ground under other conifers (such as cedar-hemlock).
Plants of this species are not fully developed vegetatively at the time the bright yellow flowers are open; the arched or drooping aspect of the upper part of the stem helps to give the whole plant a somewhat wilted look. The leaves expand and the stem straightens considerably as the distinctive triangular fruit ripens.
