Known only from the Florida panhandle (Bay, Gulf, and Washington Counties) and from adjacent Alabama where it is historic. Threats include alteration to hydrology through lowering water tables and succession due to fire suppression, as well as general habitat loss. Sites that are protected are still at risk to changes in hydrology that occur offsite (Johnson?pers. comm. 2015).
