Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain region, P. cristata can be found in annually burned longleaf pineland, poorly drained areas, terminus of river swamps, wet flatwoods, low wet open savannas, open wiregrass-longleaf pine woodlands, hillside bogs, shaded swamps, the base of cypress trees in a cypress-dome, along streams, boggy ditches, and mesic woodlands.[2] It is also found in moist roadside depressions, open undrained fields, and pipeline clearings. Associated species include Pinus palustris, Quercus, titi, sweetgum, alder, maple, Cuphea aspera, Verbesina chapmanii, Rhynchospora oligantha, Scleria, Fuirena, Balduina, Myrica, Ilex, Sarracenia, Juncus polycephalus, Pinguicula ionantha, Aristida stricta, Sphagnum, Nyssa, Lyonia, Magnolia, Xyris, Rhexia, Clethra, Hypericum, Platanthera blephariglottis and Cypress.[2]

It grows in open light to deeply shaded areas.[2] Soil types include moist sandy loam, peaty mucky soil, and loamy sand.[2]
