Broad-leaved Toothwort is uncommon on the Allegheny Plateau of Garrett County, and becomes rare in the Ridge and Valley and Piedmont. Broad-leaved Toothwort is found in rich mesic forests.
Broad-leaved Toothwort is very similar to Slender Toothwort and Cut-leaved Toothwort. Broad-leaved Toothwort can be differentiated from Cut-leaved Toothwort by having basal leaves while in bloom. Cut-leaved Toothwort typically lacks basal leaves while in bloom. Slender Toothwort and Broad-leaved Toothwort are very similar in appearance. The best way to differentiate between these two species is to look at the stem (cauline) leaves. The cauline leaves of Broad-leaved Toothwort are similar in width to the basal leaves, while the cauline leaves of Slender Toothwort are much narrower than the basal leaves.It is very important when documenting Broad-leaved Toothwort that the cauline leaves are well represented.
