Status
The distribution of this species in Maryland is enigmatic. Historically this species has been reported as far west as
Washington County (Shreve 1910) and as far north as northern Cecil County (Reed 1986) but is recently known from the Coastal Plain as
far south as Dorchester County. This species occupies a wide range of geological substrates from strongly acid to ultramafic. Habitat at
the largest known population is unremarkable and there appears to be much habitat available for the species indicating perhaps that habitat
and survey prescriptions need re-evaluation (MD DNR). The Anne Arundel and Cecil County populations are now extirpated.
Where To Find
Dry-mesic oak and dry pine-oak forests and woodlands over rocky, sandy or gravelly substrates (MD DNR).
