|phenology=Flowering late spring.
|habitat=Xeric to dry pine uplands and sand ridges, xeric to moist pine flatwoods and savannas, ecotones of seepage bogs and depressional wetlands, infrequently in wet soils
|elevation=0-100 m
|distribution=Ala.;Fla.;Ga.;La.;Miss.;N.C.;S.C.
|discussion=<p><i>Gaylussacia nana</i> is a coastal plain endemic; it is distinguished by the glabrate and glaucous abaxial faces of leaves and the relatively large, glaucous to glaucescent fruits. Recent field work and herbarium studies have extended its known range.</p>
