About Triantha glutinosa (Michx.) Baker
Triantha glutinosa (Michx.) Baker is a flowering plant species belonging to the Tofieldiaceae family. It is commonly called sticky false asphodel, sticky tofieldia, or northern bog asphodel. This species is primarily native to northern North America, occurring in both Canada and the United States. Disjunct populations of this plant also exist further south in the Appalachian Mountains. It prefers to grow in wet habitats like marshes and seeps, especially in calcareous soils. It blooms with white-yellow flowers during the summer. An intermediate population, thought to represent a transition to the more southern species Triantha racemosa, occurs in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
