Comments
Most of our material of this species is var. maculata, occurring state-wide. The more southern var. curtisii (Coult. & Rose) Fern. (= C. mexicana Coulter & Rose) has been attributed to the se. Virginia Coastal Plain, but distinctions from var. maculata have been difficult to discern in limited herbarium studies. A provisional map for var. curtisii with additional information is provided.

Floodplain forests, swamps (alluvial, seepage, maritime, tidal), freshwater tidal marshes, stream banks, wet meadows, ditches, and disturbed wetlands. Common throughout.
