|discussion=<p><i>Hexalectris spicata </i>var.<i> spicata</i> occurs in Missouri in calcareous soil in dry forests and limestone glades, often in association with <i>Juniperus</i> in the latter habitat (G. Yatskievych 1999). Detailed descriptions of habitat and associated species for <i>H. spicata </i>var.<i> spicata</i> in Illinois are given by C. J. Sheviak (1974) and for Indiana by M. A. Homoya (1993).</p><!--
--><p>In Oklahoma, populations of <i>Hexalectris spicata </i>var.<i> spicata</i> growing in decaying <i>Juniperus</i> needle litter over sandstone are far more robust.</p>
