In the flora area, Calymperes palisotii is rather frequent in peninsular Florida, especially in the southern part, including some of the upper Keys. Its broad, more or less distally truncate cancellinae and gemmae in a hairbrush-like tuft on the adaxial surface of the leaf apex make it easy to recognize. Calymperes palisotii is represented in the flora area by the subsp. palisotii.
