Comments
According to FNA this is primarily a species of the Atlantic Coastal Plain (south to North Carolina). The old collection by A.M. Vail from the summit of Whitetop Mountain (at NY), in spruce forest at 5500 ft., seems dubious and merits further investigation.
Habitat
Virginia habitats not recorded or available; three known collections, two from the northern Coastal Plain, and one from Whitetop Mountain on the Southern Blue Ridge (Biodiversity occurrence data published by MO, NY, TENN.
