Description
Common Name: White thoroughwort
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It is found in sandhills, Longleaf pine-wiregrass savannas, evergreen scrub oak sand ridges, pine flatwoods, old fields, flatwoods, hammocks, seepage slopes, pine-palmetto flatwoods, in woods adjacent to sinkholes, and in well-drained Longleaf pinelands (FSU Herbarium). It is also found in human disturbed areas such as roadsides, areas that have been clear cut, clobbered, bulldozed, and in powerline corridors (FSU Herbarium). it requires open to semi-shaded areas (FSU Herbarium). It is associated with areas that have drying-loamy sand, wet-sandy loam, dry sand, gray-sand loam, dry-sparsely loamy sand soil types (FSU Herbarium). It does well in open canopy areas on longleaf pine habitats and does okay in areas that have been clear cut.[1] It is found in longleaf pine sandhill communities.[2]
