Comments
Sanicula canadensis var. floridana is reported to reach its northern range limit in se. Virginia; targeted inventory in that region is needed to determine its current status. In addition, the validity of this taxon needs further assessment in the field and herbarium.
Habitat
Collected by Fernald and Long in the late 1930's from "sandy yellow pine and oak woods" and "border of dry pine woods" in southeastern Virginia; more recent specimens were collected in James City County, Newport News City, and Prince George County. This taxon has not been distinguished from var. canadensis in most Virginia floristic studies and herbarium specimens, and its full distribution and status are unclear.
Native Status
Native
