5 plants observed regrowing within cleared/scraped sandhill, with A. humistrata. 2 plants flowering and one plant is a clump of root-broken propagated stems. Morphology typical of peninsular ridge ecotype, and not panhandle or southern Florida morph.

2 plants observed within Florida peninsular upland calcareous glade, an undescribed Florida natural community. Approximately 1/2 of companion species composition = species composition in central Florida Panhandle calcareous glades. Key biomass differences between panhandle glades and peninsular glades are the following: Peninsular glades support Juniperus silicicola, Zamia integrifolia, and large colonies of Eryngium yuccifolium synchaetum.

Peninsular glades are limestone outcroppings at the edges of grade transitions between perched Cladium basin marshes and/or hydric pine flatwoods (with islands of mesic flatwoods) at the edge of expanses of Gulf coast mesic-hydric hammocks complexes. Generally speaking, these glades are escarpment outcroppings.

All observed glades are <.10 hectare islands of habitat, but generally within several hundred feet of each other at any point in their distribution.

As with the Gadsden glades of the Florida Panhandle, Asclepias viridis is sympatric, but similarly uncommon.
