Habitat

It occurs in sandy,fire-dependent habitats of the southeastern U.S., including longleaf pine sandhill, Florida scrub, scrubby flatwoods, and pine rockland.

Conservation

Due to its restricted habitat requirements and limited range, it is considered vulnerable in Georgia and imperiled in North Carolina.
