In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, R. harveyi can be found in longleaf pine forests, drying sandy loam of open pine-oak woodlands, and on dry wiregrass/longleaf pine sandhills. [1] It can also occur in cutover pinewoods with Fimbristylis and Cyperus, sandy loam on pond margins, roadsides, and partially cutover upland longleaf pine savannas. Associated species include Pinus palustris, Aristida stricta, Quercus, and Fimbristylis, Cyperus. [1]
