In the US, the heart of its range extends from Florida, to Georgia and North and South Carolina, with isolated populations reported in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Hampshire, Kentucky and Delaware.[3][4][5][6] Some populations in California have in the past been referred to as P. floridana but are now regarded as a separate species, P. hespera.[7][8][9]
