Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, T. smallii can be found in recently burned scrubs, scrub oak-wiregrass communities, wiregrass-pine flatwoods, longleaf pine/wiregrass/scrub oak sandhills, recently burned longleaf pine/wiregrass communities, pine savannas, and around ephemeral ponds (FSU Herbarium; Haywood et al. 2001). It can also be found along old logging roads, recreation areas, bulldozed wiregrass-pinewoods. Soil types include loamy sand, sand, sandy loam, and loamy soil (FSU Herbarium). Associated species include Liatris, Panicum, Leptoloma cognatum, Sphenopholis nitida, Euphorbia inundata, Paspalum, Rhyncospora, Macbridea, and Justicia crassifolia (FSU Herbarium).

Fire ecology
It is fire tolerant; Tragia smallii was found frequently on plots in the Kisatchie National Forest burned 20 times each in March and July from 1962 to 1998, but rarely on plots burned in May (Haywood et al 2001).
