|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fabaceae | Baptisia aberrans | Eastern Prairie Blue Wild Indigo, Glade Blue Wild Indigo, Glade Blue Baptisia | Glades, barrens, and open woodlands over limestone (or other calcareous rocks) and diabase (or other mafic rocks), in areas that were formerly prairies, barrens, glades, or oak savannas. | Sw. KY, c. and se. TN, nw. GA, n. AL and wc. (Coastal Plain) AL, and c. NC. |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia alba | Thick-pod White Wild Indigo | Dry woodlands, pine flatwoods, roadsides. | C. NC south to n. peninsular FL, west to AL and MS. |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia albescens | Narrow-pod White Wild Indigo, Spiked Wild Indigo | Dry woodlands, pine flatwoods, roadsides. | Se. VA (e. MD?) south through NC, SC, and GA to n. FL, e. AL and e. TN. |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia arachnifera | Hairy Rattleweed, Hairy Wild Indigo | Longleaf pine sandhills. | Endemic to GA (Wayne and Brantley counties). |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia australis | Tall Blue Wild Indigo, Streamside Blue Indigo, Tall Blue Baptisia | Riverbank scour areas, gravel bars, and disturbed areas (where persisting from cultivation). | Native to w. and n. VA, w. MD, WV, w. PA, e. and c. KY, ne. TN, se. IN, and s. OH, probably w. NC (Yancey County), and possibly native to other states, the original range somewhat obscured by its frequent cultivation. |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia bracteata | Creamy Wild Indigo | Dry ridgetop woodlands and forests, longleaf pine sandhills, other dry woodlands. | Ne. AL northwest through n. GA and n. SC to w. NC. |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia calycosa | Florida Wild Indigo | Dry pine flatwoods, longleaf pine sandhills. | Endemic to ne. FL (Clay and St. Johns counties) and also reported for Lowndes County, GA (Kartesz 2010) (this record needing confirmation). |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia cinerea | Carolina Wild Indigo | Longleaf pine sandhills, other dry sandy woods. | Though common in the Coastal Plain of the Carolinas, B. cinerea is a narrow endemic, ranging only from s. VA south to s. SC. The report in Jones & Coile (1988) of B. cinerea in GA is in error; the specimen is of B. lanceolata. |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia elliptica | Longleaf pine sandhills. | Panhandle FL and adjacent s. AL; disjunct in c. peninsular FL. |  | |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia hirsuta | Hairy Wild Indigo, Panhandle Wild Indigo | Hammocks, dry pine flatwoods and longleaf pine sandhills. | Endemic to FL Panhandle (Escambia, Holmes, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Walton counties) and adjacent AL (Covington County). |  |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia lactea | Woodlands, prairies, roadsides. | W. NY, MI, WI, MN, and e. NE, south to AL, nw. GA (R. Ware, pers.comm., 2022), MS, LA, e. TX, and sw. OK; alleged by S to occur in NC, presumably based on misinterpreted material of B. alba. |  | |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia lanceolata | Gopherweed | Longleaf pine sandhills, dry pine flatwoods. | S. SC south to ne. FL and sw. GA, a Southeastern Coastal Plain endemic. Small (1933) alleges that B. lanceolata ranges north to NC, but no documentation is known. |  |

| Fabaceae | Baptisia leucophaea var. laevicaulis | Dry longleaf pine / bluestem woodlands, other pinelands, coastal prairies. | E. LA west to s. TX, scattered northward to s. AR and e. OK. | ||

| Fabaceae | Baptisia minor | Prairie Blue Wild Indigo, Prairie Blue Baptisia | Prairies, rocky open woodlands. | IA and se. NE south through MO to n. and w. AR, OK, and n. TX. Reported by K3 for KY but the material is considered to represent B. aberrans by Campbell & Medley (2014). |  |

| Fabaceae | Baptisia riparia | Ochlockonee Wild Indigo | Moist forests of floodplains. | Endemic to e. Panhandle FL (all known collections from the Ochlockonee River). | |
| Fabaceae | Baptisia simplicifolia | Scareweed | Pine flatwoods. | Endemic to Panhandle FL (Franklin, Gadsden, Leon, Liberty, and Wakulla counties) (Wunderlin & Hansen 2004). | |
