Brown Bogbuttons occurs in sandy or peaty soils around the upper margins of Karst ponds, small depressions ponds, and in seeps. It is a cespitose plant forming clumps of rosettes.

The flowers have 3 club-shaped sepals and no petals. The fruit is a capsule. Brown Bogbuttons is listed as a S1 species in Alabama (typically 5 or fewer occurrences, very few remaining individuals, acres, or miles of stream, or some factor of its biology making it especially vulnerable in the state) and globally as a G3-4 species (G3 - Imperiled globally because of rarity (6 - 20 occurrences, or few remaining acres, or miles of stream) or very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range because of other factors.
