AL to s. MS (Sorrie & Leonard 1999), and south into c. peninsular FL and s. peninsular FL (Wilder & McCollum 2023); northward apparently as a rarity in se. NC and e. SC (Berkeley County; McMillan & Porcher 2005) and se. NC. A. simpliciflora was believed to be a Gulf Coastal Plain endemic until found by R. LeBlond in 1999 in wet savannas in se.
