Tephrosia mysteriosa
Sandhill tippetoes is a low, creeping legume native to sandhill habitat on the Lake Wales and Mount Dora Ridges of central Florida. Its key to growing it is well-drained, sandy soil in full sun, since it is a dryland species that grows naturally in such conditions.
Tephrosia mysteriosa, commonly known as sandhill tippitoes, is a species of legume first described by Kris DeLaney in 2010. It grows on sandhills and is endemic to the Lake Wales and Mount Dora Ridges of Florida.
