In Indiana, the species grows on a Paleozoic (shaley) limestone glade in Harrison County in the Interior Low Plateaus Physiographic Province, in eastern Tennessee it occurs on Paleozoic limestone glades in Hamilton and Meigs counties in the Ridge and Valley Physiographic Province and in Kentucky the new records of occurrence are for limestone glades in Jefferson and Hardin counties in the Interior Low Plateaus Physiographic Province.
