Synonyms: D. carnea var. albida (Torrey & A. Gray) Barneby; Petalostemon albidus (Torrey & A. Gray) Small[1][2]
Description
Dalea albida is a dioecious perennial that grows as a forb/herb or a subshrub.[2]
Distribution
This species occurs from eastern Georgia, westward to southeast Alabama, and southward to northern peninsular Florida.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
D. albida is found in pinelands.[1] It also occurs in central Florida glades where it has a 5% frequency.[3] It was found to be among the most cold-hardy legumes found in southern Georgia, where it persists through repeated frosts and was present in January and February field surveys.[4] It is found in dry-mesic to wet-mesic prairies.[3]
Phenology
In the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, flowering occurs from July through November.[1]
