- Comments
- Traditionally treated as Decumaria barbara. Molecular analyses have demonstrated that Hydrangea (sensu lato) is polyphyletic, and should either be circumscribed more broadly to include other genera (including Decumaria) in tribe Hydrangeeae that are phylogenetically embedded, or separated into multiple, monophyletic segregate genera (in which case Decumaria would be retained). Flora of the Southeastern U.S. (Weakley et al. 2023) and Flora of Virginia have opted to follow the first option, which has been formalized by De Smet et al. (2015, Taxon 64: 741–752).
- Habitat
- Alluvial, nonriverine, and tidal swamp forests; floodplain forests, seepage swamps, wet flatwoods and depressions. Common in the s. and c. Coastal Plain, n. to James City, Gloucester, and Lancaster counties.
