Restricted to bogs in eastern Texas and adjacent Louisiana. There are over 80 populations documented. The habitat is threatened by fire supression, which causes the bogs to become shrub-invaded, and by alteration of the local hydrology by roads and fire lanes, which can cause the bogs to dry out. However many populations are well-managed and in well-maintained fire situations.
