The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker

The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Peninsular Florida, southern Louisiana and Mississippi in the Gulf Coast regions, the coastal sections of North and South Carolina, and throughout the island of Cuba. Habitat elevations were not reported, but the coastal areas probably are rather low-lying as is most of Florida. Plants are said to grow in rather dry, sandy palmetto fields and open pine or oak barrens.
