Habitat
E. bladwinii is found in swamps, wet pine flatwoods, fresh to brackish marshes, bogs,[2] ditches,[2][4] pinelands, temporary pools, and other moist to wet sites.[4] This species has been observed in a range of habitats, including muddy bottom of drying ditches, drying lots and other disturbed areas, wet ground in pastures, wet seepage areas, pine flatwoods and pine flatwood clearings, slopes, palm hammocks, swampy woodlands, marshy shores, prairies, and marshes. Soils include drying loamy sand, moist sandy loam, moist peat, moist sandy clay, and moist sandy humus.[5] It is listed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service as a facultative wetland species, where it most often occurs in wetland habitats but can occasionally be found in non-wetland habitats.[1]
Associated species include Gratiola pilosa, Carez reniformis, Lindernia sp., Eleocharis sp., Eryngium prostratum, and Spartina bakeri.[5]
