A woodland jack-in-the-pulpit of the southeastern United States, separated from A. triphyllum by its leaflets, the lateral ones often split to make five. It grows from a corm, comes up in spring, and dies back for a cold winter dormancy.

Where it grows wild

A herbaceous geophyte of moist, rich deciduous woods, ravines and stream banks, like its close relatives in the A. triphyllum complex. This is inferred from the group; the species itself is little documented.

Low to middle elevations, 85–914 m in the records (median 300 m).
