This species occurs from eastern Georgia, westward to southeast Alabama, and southward to northern peninsular Florida.[1]

Ecology

Habitat

D. albida is found in pinelands.[1] It also occurs in central Florida glades where it has a 5% frequency.[4] It was found to be among the most cold-hardy legumes found in southern Georgia, where it persists through repeated frosts and was present in January and February field surveys.[5] It is found in dry-mesic to wet-mesic prairies.[4]

Phenology

In the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, flowering occurs from July through November.[1]
