Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, S. undulatum can be found in upland oak-hickory woods, limestone glades, and along pine-oak woodlands. [1] Associated species include Pinus, Quercus, and Carya. [1] S. undulatum responds negatively to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plain communities. This marks it as an indicator species for remnant woodland.[2]
Phenology
It has been observed flowering in January, October and November. [1]
