Eryngium

not marked as a favorite taxon Eryngium altamaha Kees, Weakley, & D.B. Poindexter. Common name: Altamaha Eryngo. Phenology: Aug-Oct. Habitat: Seepages and bogs in longleaf pinelands, particularly over Miocene sandstone. Distribution: Apparently endemic to Georgia, occurring in the Inner Coastal Plain, associated with the Altamaha Grit and other undifferentiated Miocene geology, and very rarely (and perhaps only historically) disjunct in Piedmont bogs. It occurs primarily in Atlantic watersheds (Altamaha, Ocmulgee, Suwanee, Satilla), with one outlier in the Flint River drainage basin (Kees, Weakley, & Poindexter 2024).
