Description

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

P. aspera is distributed across southern Georgia and northern Florida (Gowe and Brewer 2005). Occurs in areas with an estimated pre-settlement fire-return interval of 1-3 years (Gowe and Brewer 2005). Commonly found in Florida sandhill community (Downer-MR_2012_MSThesis)
