- Comments
- Our plants are sometimes referred to as var. aurantiacum based on supposed differences in pubescence. Similar variations also occur in T. angustifolium and T. perfoliatum. In short, the whole group is badly in need of systematic study.
- Habitat
- Dry, often rocky forests and woodlands, primarily over limestone and dolomite, but also occasionally over calcareous siltstone, calcareous sandstone, and mafic rocks. Infrequent in the sw. and c. mountains, north to Augusta and Nelson counties; rare in the sw. Piedmont.
