Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

This species can live in humid, subtropical climates in drying sandy loam on the edges of woodland remnants, shade of mesic woodlands, xeric limestone prairies, open old-field pine woods, and sandy clay of the Red Hills. [1] [2] [3] It can live in communities dominated by post oak as well. [1] This species is also found in disturbed habitats such as upland pine-hardwoods, partially wooded vacant lots, and beside trail edges. [2] Associated species include Pinus echinata, Schoenus nigricans, Solidago odora, Callicarpa americana, Myrica cerifera, Liquiambar styraciflua, and Rhus copallinum. [2]

Phenology

This species flowers and fruits between October and November. [2]
