[1] It can also occur along logging roads, edges of titi bogs bordering logging roads, powerline corridors, hillside seepages, hiking trails in wiregrass-longleaf pine woodlands, roadside ditches, disturbed roadside seepage bogs, and culverts. Associated species include Xyris jupicai, X. baldwiniana, X. drummondii, X. scabrifolia, X. difformis var. curtissii, X. longisepala, Orontium, Lilium iridollae, Platanthera blephariglottis, Mayaca, Triadenum, Pinguicula, Sarracenia, Sarracenia alta, Fuirena, Bacopa, Hypericum, Ilex, Drosera capilaris, Eriocaulon texense, Eryngium integrifolium, Liatris pycnostachya, Marshallia tenuifolia, Polygala ramosa, Ptilimnium costatum, Rhynchospora oligantha, R. macra, R. fascicularis, R. gracilen, Scleria reticularis, Rhexia, Scirpus cyperinus, Mikania, Polygonum, Nyssa, Pinckneya, Magnolia, Liquidambar, Quercus, and titi.
