Spotted wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata) COSEWIC update and status report: chapter 3
Introduction
Spotted Wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata (L.) Pursh) was designated as endangered in 1987 due to its limited number of locations in Canada (Kirk, 1987). Prior to 1987, the plant was known from a small population in Wasaga Beach Provincial Park and from two sites within the St. Williams Forestry Station--one with a few plants and a larger colony with 20-40 plants (Kirk, 1987; Oldham, 1997). Spotted Wintergreen requires sandy habitats in dry-mesic Oak-Pine woods (Kirk, 1987).
