| Distribution | A single collection in 1997 from Brunswick County: Green Swamp at Driving Creek, upstream from NC 211. Growing under Atlantic White Cedar, with 3 species of Drosera. The NC plants, along with the 3 Drosera, were apparently planted by some carnivorous plant lover. See LeBlond & Weakley (2002) for a lengthy discussion. Weakley (2022) adds that "Spores of Schizaea have been identified in Pleistocene organic sediment from Singletary Lake (Bladen County, NC) and Rockyhock Bay (Chowan County, NC) (Whitehead 1963)."
