Rank Reasons
Possibly more EOs than would warrant G3 rank, but because of relatively limited range must include that as possibility. Until have better idea of EO numbers can't resolve rank. EGR supports GRANK of G3G5 (88-04-04).

Regional endemic: Coastal Plain of Florida, north and west to Georgia and Mississippi.
Occurrences Comments
Very rough estimate, based on "throughout penninsular Flor- ida" and comments that sp. is common in Florida and Alabama.
