- Comments
- Formerly treated as a variety of S. trifoliatum; new combinations are made in Novon 14:275-277 (2004). Map is incomplete; many Virginia specimens have not been determined to variety, but this variety is probably in most, if not all, counties.
- Habitat
- Dry-mesic to dry (occasionally mesic) open forests, woodlands, barrens, riverside prairies, clearings, old fields, meadows, and road banks; it is especially common in base-rich soils. Frequent in the mountains and Piedmont, infrequent in the Coastal Plain. This is by far the most common var. of S. asteriscus in Virginia.
