From Flora of Indiana (1940) by Charles C. Deam

This variety is infrequent in northern Indiana and its range probably can be extended only to a few counties adjacent to those shown on the map. There are reports from Tippecanoe and White Counties. It is found only in very sandy, slightly acid soil. It usually grows in oak woods in low areas surrounded by Vaccinium angustifolium or in somewhat moist, rarely dry, sandy places near the bases of oak slopes.
