- Comments
- A confusing array of plants occurs in Virginia with the distinction between this taxon and P. anonyma being quite blurred. Packera paupercula var. paupercula usually occurs over basic (especially ultramafic) rocks whereas P. anonyma is weedy. See also discussion under P. paupercula var. appalachiana, and see map and comments for P. crawfordii, which is included by some in P. paupercula.
- Habitat
- Dry, open forests, woodlands, barrens, riverside prairies, meadows, and clearings; generally on mafic, ultramafic, and calcareous substrates. Infrequent and widely scattered in the mountains and Piedmont.
