Sisyrinchium xerophyllum, commonly called jeweled blue-eyed grass or scrub blue-eyed grass, is a threatened[1] species of perennial herb[3] endemic to the U.S. southeast coastal plain where it is primarily found in Florida with some possible scattered populations in Georgia and North Carolina.[1][3]
Habitat
It occurs in the exposed, sandy soils of the fire-dependent habitats of sandhill and scrub.[1]
Conservation
Its full range and abundance aren't well-documented. Due to its restricted habitat requirements and known range, it is considered a threatened species, both globally and in Florida specifically.[1]
