S. flavidulus can be found in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. It is ranked vulnerable in North Carolina and imperiled in Mississippi and South Carolina.[1]

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida, S. flavidulus habitats include pine-oak woodlands, wet pine flatwoods, margins of cypress wetlands, sphagnous bogs, and powerline corridors[2]. S. flavidulus grows in areas of copious ground water seepage in poorly drained soils and sandy loam. Strongly associated species include Lachnocaulon digynum, Sarracenia psittacina, and Xyris drummondii. Other associated species: Drosera capillaries, Eriocaulon decangulare, Eryngium integrifolium, and Oxypolis filiformis[3][2].

Phenology

Flowers early spring to early summer[4].

Fire ecology

It has been observed growing in an annually burned longleaf pineland[2].
