Gratiola hispida is a small perennial flowering plant.[3] Its common name is rough hedgehyssop. It has white flowers. Its stems are villous. It grows in the southeastern United States. It produces capsule fruit.[4]
A 1921 publication states it grows in dry sands along the Gulf Coast.[5] It has also been reported along the Atlantic coast of Florida and inland north of Jacksonville at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.[6]
According to the Atlas of Florida Plants, the "species had been placed often in Gratiola, but recent work favors its segregation as part of a genus sister to the rest of Gratiola s.s. (Estes 2008; Estes & Small 2008)." Mostly endemic to Florida and southeast Georgia, it has also been identified in a few counties of Alabama and Louisiana.[3]
