Aletris bracteata

Aletris bracteata (bracted colicroot) is a plant species native to southern Florida (Monroe and Miami-Dade Counties) and to the Bahamas (Andros and Abaco Islands). It grows in the Everglades and other wet areas very close to sea level. Some hybridization between this species and the yellow-flowered "A. lutea" has been noted.
"Aletris bracteata" is a perennial herb up to 60 cm tall, spreading by means of underground rhizomes. Flowers are white, about 7 mm long.
