Habitat
B. americana is found in moist environments near ponds and low brackish marshes, at the edges of hammocks, and in hillside bogs (FSU Herbarium). However, it can also appear in drier situations like savannas, pine flatwoods, dry open woods, hillside prairies, open prairies, coastal dunes, and shallow, grassy depressions (FSU Herbarium). In addition, it can be found in disturbed areas such as roadsides, ditches, sandy fields, open pasture, and clearings that have become weedy (FSU Herbarium). This species prefers open, sunny conditions, but occurs in a range of soil types, from dry loamy sand, to moist black sandy peat, seasonally damp areas, acidic sandy soils, and clay soils (FSU Herbarium).
Associated species includes slash pine, longleaf pine, saw palmetto, cypress, Hypericum opacum, Eryngium integrifolium, Xyris elliottii, Habenaria integra, Polygala ramosa, Polygala lutea, Ctenium aromaticus, Hibiscus aculeatus, Lobelia, Baccharis, Myrica, Erigeron strigosus, Polypremum procumbens, and others (FSU Herbarium).
