 Narthecium in Flora of North America @ efloras.org
The widely disjunct species of Narthecium (1–5 in Europe, 1 in eastern Asia, and 2 in North America) are morphologically and ecologically quite similar (A. Stabursvik 1959; W. Zomlefer 1997).
Narthecium has sometimes been included in the segregate family Melanthiaceae; based on morphology, anatomy, and karyology, it is best placed in its own family, Nartheciaceae (J. Ambrose 1975, 1980; P. Goldblatt 1995; W. Zomlefer 1997; A. Takhtajan 1997; M. Tamura 1998b), and order, Nartheciales (J. Reveal and W. Zomlefer 1998).
Steroidal saponins of Narthecium are thought to cause liver disease (icterus) in nonpigmented sheep via a deadly photosensitivity (A. Stabursvik 1959; R. Hegnauer 1962+, vol.

In general, Narthecium americanum grows in firm, sandy soils in areas that may be briefly flooded but do not accumulate deep standing water; Narthecium americanum does not tolerate stagnant water.
Narthecium americanum is found in bogs and pine barrens of the coastal plain from New Jersey to South Carolina (Gleason and Cronquist 1991, NatureServe 2001).
This begs the question of whether seedling establishment is hindered by various ecological factors such as seed predation or seedling herbivory, but these factors have not been studied to date.
