Rediscovery
On October 25th, 1978 the Navasota ladies'-
tresses was rediscovered in Brazos county by Paul
Catling and K. L. McIntosh in a Post Oak woodland
northwest of the town of Navasota (Catling and
McIntosh 1979). They located 7 plants along the banks
of a temporary stream surrounded by scattered oaks
(post oak, Quercas stellata and blackjack oak, Quercas
marilandica) along with American beauty berry, Callicarpa
americana. Another site with 13 plants was also
discovered close by in an open oak woodland on the
banks of another temporary stream. They reported that
Spiranthes parksii occurred both on the tops of banks in
open sand with a sparse cover of grass and on the sides
of banks in the shade of tress and thickets. Since that
time it has been documented in Lee, Leon, Freestone,
Grimes, Burleson, Madison, Robertson, Fayette,
Washington and Jasper counties, (Liggio 1999) and
(Bridges and Orzell 1989). The Jasper county site
represents a small disjunct population within the Piney
Woods of Angelina County National Forest in East
Texas 170 kilometers east of all other known
populations. Recent surveys of the Jasper County Black
Branch Barrens area of the Angelina National Forest
have resulted in finding a few other plants (MacRoberts
& MacRoberts 1997).
Range/Habitat
Spiranthes parksii, with the exception noted above
for Jasper County, inhabits the Post Oak Savannah

from green to yellow to copper so that really does not count for
much. As to the lip shape: if the lip is ovate-oblong on M.
lucayanus then it is clearly lanceolate on M. polyanthus. I examined
the lips on 29 M. polyanthus specimens and they were very
consistent and all were lanceolate and very slightly dilated at the
base, whereas I examined the lips of 12 M. lucayanus specimens
and they had more or less ovate-oblong lips - not as consistent as
polyanthus but certainly not like the M. polyanthus specimens.
Excellent photographs of the types of both were at AMES.
In summary:
Plants robust to 75+ cm high and inflorescence 1 cm+ thick; lip
lanceolate to 7.5 mm long; lateral sepals spreading, slender, long-
acuminate to 1 cm long; lower stem bracts c. 3.5 - 7.5 cm,
spreading; plants of high elevations in north central Mexico
(1600-6300 m) growing in exposed rocky areas and lava
flows….M. polyanthus
