Rank Reasons

Found along the coastal plain from Georgia to Louisiana. There are 50 occurrences recorded but two states are not tracking the species. The majority of naturally occurring habitat has been significantly altered throughout range. Fire supression, hydrologic alteration, and residential and commercial development are the principal causes of global decline. Several occurrences are now confined to roadside drainage ditches.

Range Extent Comments

Within the Coastal Plain of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Occurrences Comments

Approximately 50 extant populations are presently recorded, in all states but Florida and Georgia, where the species is not tracked.
