Additional Info
Mesic to dry-mesic (rarely dry) upland forests, seepage-swamp hummocks, floodplain forests, and upland depression swamps; often in base-rich soils. This species appears to vary from infrequent to frequent in the mountains and piedmont and from infrequent to rare in the coastal Plain. Its status needs further investigation due to confusion with related members of section Laxiflorae.
