Today it is only known from Citrus and Hernando counties. Historic occurrences from Sumter and Collier counties are recorded, though it's uncertain if it's still extant there.[1]

Conservation
[edit]Known threats include habitat loss, pressure from invasive species, and poaching for the orchid horticultural trade.[1]
