| Distribution | A specimen has been seen from New Hanover County, collected by F.G. Poole in April 1936; it is without any other locality data. A second specimen was collected in 1993 "near the beach" in Brunswick County by M. Williams (specimen at ILLS). These occurrences are doubtfully native; more likely that plants were brought up from Florida.
