Distribution

The species is found predominantly in eastern Texas, USA [4] replacing P. fenestralis west of Louisiana. [5] Where the species meets P. fenestralis there may be some hybridisation and introgression and the species can therefore be hard identify in this area. [5] They are also reported in the very north of Mexico, below the species distribution in Texas. [6]
