Habitat
This species has not been previously recognized as part of the Virginia flora, but was mapped for the se. Virginia Coastal Plain and Piedmont by Nesom (2015, see Comments). Based on its ecological affinities elsewhere, this species would presumably be associated with longleaf pine sandhills and other dry, sandy woodlands. Additional study is needed.
