It can live in loblolly or slash pine communities.[1] Censused on mid-slope at the Wade Tract, GA.[2] “The fire-maintained forest structure is savanna-like with an open canopy of P. palustris and P. elliotii Engelm. (slash pine), little to no subcanopy, and diverse ground cover dominated by grasses…and forbs…”[3] Commonly found species in the forests of camp Shelby Training Site within Pine Woods subprovince of the Gulf Coastal Plain physiographic region of Mississippi.[1]
