|discussion=<p><i>Krigia wrightii</i> grows in the Eastern deciduous forest biome, southeastern Coastal Plain, tallgrass prairie, and mixedgrass prairie. It was confused with <i>K. cespitosa</i> by L. H. Shinners (1947); its cypselae, involucres, and chromosome number set it apart. It often grows sympatrically with <i>K. occidentalis</i> or <i>K. cespitosa</i>, and mixed collections may occur.</p>
