This species is known only from northeast of the Asheville depression, although there it is moderately widespread, occurring in all the major ranges: the Black Mts, Roan Highlands, Grandfather Mountain, Big Bald, and Camp Creek Bald. Its known localities span an elevation range of 3800-6300 ft. There is a CUAC specimen labelled 'Toxaway
