L. linearis is a perennial forb/herb of the Onagraceae family native to North America. [1]
Distribution
L. linearis var. linearis ranges from southern New Jersey to central peninsular Florida, west to southeastern Louisiana, and inland to the Cumberland Plateau of northcentral Alabama and central Tennessee.[3] L. linearis var. puberula ranges from central Alabama to central Arizona and eastern Missouri, south to eastern Texas, and north to Florida and North Carolina.[3]

L. linearis proliferates in savannas and interdunal swales. [2] Specimens have been collected from shallow water of pond, longleaf pine flatwoods, moist sandy loam of roadside, cypress swamp, black sandy peat, wiregrass wet pine flatwoods, wet savanna, and sandy clay of cleared loblolly pine flat. [4]
