"The narrow-leaved hoary pea (Tephrosia angustissima var. angustissima) was first collected in 1846 in pine rockland habitat near the Miami River. This habitat has been largely destroyed in south Florida, and virtually none exists within the taxa's former range. The last collection was from a natural site was in 1947. A collection was made from a disturbed lot outside of the taxon's natural range in 1985. This plant is thought to have been brought in on roadfill. A survey in 2000 found that the population had been destroyed."
