Found in the Coastal Plains of southwestern Georgia (Baker County) (Kirkman et al 2004).

Habitat
Phenology
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Jayasuriya and his team found out that water uptake by manually scarified seeds was about 30 times greater than water uptake by non-treated seeds (2008)! This shows that S. humistrata exhibits physical seed dormancy. It does not require light for germination (Jayasuriya 2008).
