Florida Keys History and Distribution: First collected between 1838 and 1853 by John Loomis Blodgett on Big Pine Key. Not reported for the Florida Keys by John Kunkel Small in 1913, but several more recent collections are known. We consider this native and extant only on Big Pine Key in the lower Keys.
