ResumoA small population of the orchid Triphora trianthophora in western Massachu setts was investigated over a six-year period (1988 through 1993). Observations on the flowering habits and seed capsule production are described, as well as vegetative reproduction by means of tuberoids. Triphora produces an abundance of short-lived flowers yet very few capsules are initiated. The majority of Tri phora's existence is spent underground reproducing asexually by means of new tuberoids.
