Varieties
hirtellus and
setarius are found in the West Indies. Plants in the Bahamas are probably var. setarius, which has shorter inflorescence branches; this is also the variety found in the southeastern United States, including Florida (Weakley 2015). Also visit IRC's
Natives For Your Neighborhood website for horticultural information about this in South Florida.
