|phenology=Flowering early spring–spring.
|habitat=Moist, acid, pine flatwoods and savannas, streamhead pocosins and baygalls, acid blackwater swamps, shrub bogs and peat-based pocosins, pond margins
|elevation=0-200 m
|distribution=Ala.;Fla.;Ga.;La.;Miss.;N.C.;S.C.;Va.;West Indies (Cuba).
|discussion=<p><i>Lyonia lucida</i> is occasionally used as an ornamental; it is most closely related to <i>L. mariana</i>. The Cuban populations tend to have slightly longer and more densely hairy calyx lobes than do those of the southeastern United States.</p>
