- Whether North American plants should be treated as a separate species or as a subspecies of European Samolus valerandi seems debatable. However, for the sake of consistency with FOV and Flora of the Southeastern U.S., we treat them as separate species here.
- Habitat
- In a diversity of wet habitats, including tidal freshwater and oligohaline marshes, tidal swamps, alluvial swamps, floodplain sloughs and pools, maritime swamps, interdune swales, calcareous seepage swamps, rocky and sandy riverside bars, and seeping rock outcrops. Locally frequent to common in all provinces; apparently absent from much of the inner Piedmont and from high elevations in the mountains.
