Mini series on terrestrials: Cypripedium arietinum Like all - TopicsExpress



          

Mini series on terrestrials: Cypripedium arietinum Like all members of this genus, C. arietinum has 3 petals, 1 modified into a pouch or slipper. In C. arietinum the pouch is densely pubescent and white with purple markings, which, with a little imagination, looks like the head of a charging ram. It has 2 or more alternate leaves borne nearly to the top of the stem. The lateral sepals are free rather than fused, which distinguishes C. arietinum from all other Cypripediums (Smith 1993). Habitat .......... C. arietinum occur in a variety of coniferous forest habitats. Several populations occur in swamps, bogs, or lowland forests ........ also occurs in the drier upland conifer forests ............ Photo: Gordon Bowbrick Map & ref: dnr.state.mn.us/
