R. minus occurs in sandhill and pine flatwoods communities, as well as the edges of titi bogs.[1] However, it can also be found in disturbed areas, including titi swamps in heavily logged pinewoods and slash pine plantations.[1]
Associated species include Serenoa repens, Ilex glabra, Lyonia ferrugunea, Ilex coriacea, Lyonia lucida, Cyrilla, Quercus nigra, Cliftonia, Rhododendron canescens, Vaccimum arobreum, Hamamelis virginica, Pinus elliottii, Illicium floridanum, Quercus pumila,Pinus palustris, Quercus laevis, Quercus chapmanii, Quercus geminata, and Magnolia grandiflora.[1]
