Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, T. hispidula can be found in recently burned longleaf pine/wiregrass communities; pine flatwoods; sandhills; mixed pine and hardwood swamps; edges of pond cypress wetlands; pine-scrub oak-palmetto woodlands; slash pine-wiregrass woodlands; and along the shore of rivers. [2] [3] [4] In disturbed habitats it has been found along grassy road margins, sand in open woods by a road, sandy peat of a pine flatwoods ditch, and a recently planted slash pine plantation. Substrate types include rich loamy sand, mucky sands, and dry sands. [3] It has been observed to grow with Tephrosia chrysophylla. [3]
Phenology
It has been documented flowering and fruiting May through October. [3]
