Eriocaulon decangulare, commonly known as ten-angled pipewort, hat pin and bog button, is a monocotyledonous plant native to the eastern United States, Mexico and Nicaragua. The plant's distribution is quite irregular, with several disjunct populations and a discontinuous primary range. Most of its habitat in the United States is found on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. It is found in areas of relatively low elevation and does not occur higher than 300 metres above sea level. This plant is found in peat and sand that is moist to wet, and is associated with savannahs, bogs, pinelands, ditches and the banks of cypress domes.
