Summary: 

In Oklahoma, Nuttall's cornsalad is known from Atoka, Bryan, Cherokee, Haskell, Latimer, LeFlore, McCurtain, McIntosh, Muskogee, Pittsburg, Pushmataha, and Wagoner Counties. Surveys for the species had not occurred since 1999, and no collections had been made since 2002. I revisited sites located in the 1999 surveys, collecting demographic and habitat data, as well as data on associated species. Eight historic sites were relocated, and nine new sites were found.​
