Triphora craigheadii, commonly referred to as Craighead's noddingcaps,[2] is a species of orchid endemic to peninsular Florida, USA. Today it is only known from Citrus and Hernando counties. Historic occurrences from Sumter and Collier counties are recorded, though it's uncertain if it's still extant there.[1]
Habitat
It is only known from heavily shaded hydric/mesic hammocks in proximity to limestone outcroppings.[3]
Conservation
Known threats include habitat loss, pressure from invasive species, and poaching for the orchid horticultural trade.[1]
