Florida Keys History and Distribution: Reported in
1913 by John Kunkel Small for disturbed sites from the upper Keys to the lower Keys, but we only have reports or observations from the upper Keys (Key Largo, Pumpkin Key) and the lower Keys (Big Pine Key). An herbarium voucher is needed for the Monroe County Keys.
