U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceThis is a dataset representing the polygonal boundaries for the Ute ladies'-tresses (Spiranthes diluvialis) as understood by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The complete layer is found in ECOS. Ute ladies-tresses is a perennial herb with erect, glandular-pubescent stems 12-60 cm tall arising from tuberous-thickened roots. Basal leaves are narrowly linear, up to 1 cm wide and 28 cm long, and persist at the time of flowering. Leaves become progressively smaller up the stem and are alternate. The inflorescence is a sparsely pubescent 3-15 cm long spike of numerous small white or ivory-colored flowers arranged in a gradual spiral. Individual flowers are 7.5-15 mm long and faintly fragrant (with a vanilla-like scent). The lip petal is oval to lance-shaped, narrowed at the middle, and has crispy-wavy margins. Sepals are separate or fused only at the base (not fused into a hood-like structure) and are often spreading at their tips. Fruits are cylindric capsules with numerous seeds. The species occurs in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
