| Distribution | Coastal Plain and Sandhills region; scarce in the northern Coastal Plain. Disjunct to East Flat Rock bog in Henderson County. In Dare County found in seepy soil on Roanoke Island; in coastal New Hanover County found at the edge of an interdune pond.
Southeastern VA to southeastern GA; disjunct to a few mountain counties in NC and SC. | |
| Abundance | Locally common in the southern Coastal Plain, including the Sandhills; somewhat less numerous elsewhere in the province, but essentially absent in the northern counties. Very rare in the southern Mountains and along the eastern edge of the Piedmont. | |
| Habitat | Wet to moist Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) savannas and flatwoods, pocosin ecotones, blackwater streamhead ecotones, clearings and openings in blackwater swamps; montane seepage bog. | |
| Phenology | Flowering and fruiting May - early July (-late July in mountains). | |
| Identification | This is a very handsome plant when in bloom. Plants grow mostly 2-5 feet tall, with only 3-7 leaves, the lower ones elliptic to almost linear in outline and with a long stem, the upper ones much reduced and generally stemless. On most plants, there are at least a few stem leaves that possess a pair of slender lobes at the base of such leaves; however, lobes are absent in some plants. The inflorescence is very open, with long branches that curve out and then up; each branch terminated by one head. The rays are bright golden-yellow, and the disks brown. | |
| Taxonomic Comments | The type location is in "Pembroke, N.C." (Robeson County).
