The showy part of the flower is the white, pink or rose bracts that become petal-like.

This species is listed as Threatened by the State of Florida. Please acquire from reputable nurseries.

Based on the BONAP maps and the ISB map, this part of the Pinckneya range that is in the Apalachicola National Forest is contiguous with the main body of the species' range in Georgia and South Carolina.  The part of its range in the peninsula, in the Ocala National Forest area, appears to be disjunct.
