| Distribution | Discovered by B. England in 2017-18 in Wake County (fide Weakley 2018); a specimen would be very welcome. To be looked for elsewhere, as it is probably easily passed over as a white-flowered H. pusilla.
Native west of the Appalachians from TN to MO, south to northwestern FL and eastern TX. Adventive in central NC. | |
| Abundance | Very rare. | |
| Habitat | "Roadsides and other disturbed areas." In its native range, it is found in sandy soils, around flatrocks, and other sunny and sandy places. | |
| Phenology | Flowering and fruiting February-April. | |
| Identification | This tiny species is very similar to H. pusilla, but the corollas are white and 2.0-5.5 mm long (vs. corollas lavender or violet and 3.5-10 mm). | |
