From Flora of Indiana (1940) by Charles C. Deam

Infrequent in beech and sugar maple and white oak and beech woods throughout the state, although we have no specimens from the northern counties. We have Van Gorder's record from Noble County which is the only one north of the range shown on the map. It is to be noted that this species is a preferred food for insects and it is often very difficult to secure an herbarium specimen which is not badly eaten by them. The bracts of the flowers are variable in size. We have one specimen from Tippecanoe County which has large, broadly cordate bracts about 8 mm. long.
