It can be found in a variety of habitats, including wet meadows and deciduous woodlands. ''Chamaelirium luteum'' has a basal rosette of around six 8–15 cm leaves, from which a single spike-like raceme inflorescence (1–1.5 cm diameter, 8–30 cm length) emerges. The plants are generally dioecious, with male-biased gender ratios in a given population. This is due to higher mortality of female plants, and the tendency of female plants to flower less frequently. Female stalks tend to be taller, giving a total maximum plant height of about 1.2 m, but also tend to have about ten times fewer flowers. ''C. luteum'' is the only member of its monotypic genus, and is quite rare at the fringes of its range. ''C. luteum'' is used as ornamental or medical plant. The root contains high valuable substances, which have already been used as medicine by native Americans a long time ago. ==Distribution== ''Chamaelirium luteum'' can be found in temperate North America, USA and Canada. It occurs in the east of the Mississippi and it is historically known from southern Ontario.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chamaelirium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
