Louisianian area. From North Carolina to Florida and Mississippi. 
ALABAMA: Lower Pine region. Coast plain. Mobile, Baldwin, and Escambia 
counties. 
Of smaller size than the species, with the leaves reduced in size and closely 
adpressed to the deciduous branchlets, thus imparting to the tree a strikingly pecu- 
liar aspect. This character, however, is not constant, and the variety can scarcely 
be maintained, the same individual producing during the earliest stages of growth 
and on vigorous adventitious shoots leaves of the ordinary form. 
This form passes freely into the species where the soil conditions are more favorable. 
Type locality: “Found from Florida to North Carolina, in swamps and pouds more 
remote from the sea.”
