An extremely rare local endemic. News story after publication (Feb 2017) from the <a href=https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/news/20170203/uwa-professor-helps-identify-new-botanical-species>Tuscaloosa News.</a>

The first collection of this species was not until 2012 and at the time of description in 2016, it was still only known from the single population from Horn Mountain in the Talladega National Forest in Talladega County. Hopefully, additional populations will be discovered.--B. Keener
