Threat Impact Comments

Highly threatened by land-use conversion, habitat fragmentation, and forest management practices; lack of disturbance resulting in succession also adversely affects this species (Southern Appalachian Species Viability Project 2002).

Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

It is found in very wet habitats (often in standing water) around cypress domes, bogs, near streams in savannas or flatwoods, wet ditches, and pond margins. [http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/wetlands/delineation/featuredplants/agalinis.htm]
