Frederick H. Utech & Shoichi Kawano in Flora of North America (vol. 26)
Rhizomes elongate, 10-15 cm, fleshy, bearing scattered, fibrous roots; stolons present. Stem 1, simple, angled distally, 2.5-4 dm, nodes glabrous, bearing 1-2 leaves below lowest branch. Leaf blades sessile, narrowly to broadly elliptic, 4-7(-8.5) × 1.5-3 cm, glabrous abaxially, margins minutely papillose, apex rounded to acute. Flowers 1 per stem; peduncles 0.2-0.8 cm, bearing 1, ovate, leafy bract, 0.7-2.5 cm; tepals pale whitish yellow, 20-30 × 3-4 mm, smooth adaxially, apex acuminate; stamens 10-15 mm; anthers 5-10 mm; connectives 0.5-2 mm; ovary sessile or subsessile, sharply triangular; style 10-15 mm; stigma lobes 3-5 mm. Capsules sessile or subsessile, sharply 3-winged, generally ellipsoid, 2-3.7 × 1-2 cm, apical attenuate beak 4-7 mm. Seeds 3-5 mm; arils crested. 2n = 12. Flowering early spring. Rich hardwood forest and alluvial bottomlands; 0--100 m; Ala., Fla., Ga., Miss., S.C. The 2n = 12 aneuploid chromosome report for Uvularia floridana from Florida´s panhandle (F. H. Utech 1978d) represents a reduction from the typical 2n = 14 for the genus (S. Kawano and H. H. Iltis 1964).
