It has populations disjunct eastward in the U.S. states of Florida and Georgia on the Coastal Plain. [2] [3] Its natural habitat is in sandy or rocky calcareous grasslands. [4] [5]
Krameria lanceolata is an herbaceous perennial that grows decumbent along the ground. It produces purple-red flowers in late spring through the summer. [4]
