GA; disjunct in Oconee County, SC and Henderson County, NC. First reported for VA by Wieboldt et al. (1998).
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
Taxonomy Comments: C. falcata should not be included (as by Cronquist in C and SE) in C. gladiata; the two species are distinctive in ecological preferences, morphology, phenology, and distribution.
