Rank Reasons
Potentially quite rare, certainly restricted range. However, if turns out to be as abundant in GA as Atlas indicates (almost half of counties!), and in panhandle FL, could be G3. Recommended rank of G4? from GAHP (5/94).
Range Extent Comments
Regional endemic: southeastern coastal plain from South Carolina (barely) to central Florida (barely).
Occurrences Comments
Rare in SC(2 counties?) and central FL, but apparently com- mon in GA and panhandle FL.
