Description
A description of Endodeca serpentaria is provided in The Flora of North America. The variation of this species needs to be further studied (Weakley 2015).
Distribution
It is found as north as Connecticut, west to Illinois, and south to central peninsular Florida, then west to Texas (Weakley 2015).
Habitat
This species grows in mesic woodlands, rich mixed woodlands along creeks, wooded floodplains, and hardwood slopes (FSU Herbarium). It is found in floodplains or slopes in soils varying from dry to wet sandy loam (FSU Herbarium). This species has also been spotted in disturbed areas such as fire breaks (FSU Herbarium). It thrives in shaded environments as well (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
It flowers from May to July (Weakley 2015).
