Plants annual or short-lived perennial; caudex (stem base) (1–)1.5–3.5(–4.2) mm. Stems without purple epidermal inclusions. Leaf blades 0.5–1.5 mm wide. Flower clusters 3–20 mm wide.
Phenology: Flowering year-round (mainly Aug–Mar).
Habitat: Sandhills, pine/oak woodland, open scrub
Elevation: 30-50 m
Discussion
Of conservation concern.
The diminutive var. chartacea is threatened by habitat destruction via both housing developments and citrus grove expansion in central Florida. R. Kral (1983) suggested that it is an early successional species in sand scrub areas since it thrives on bare sands but disappears as taller herbs become established.
