Lechea deckertii, commonly called Deckert's pinweed, is a perennial herb or subshrub endemic to the U.S. states of Florida and Georgia.
Lechea deckertii occurs in exposed, sandy soils in the fire-dependent habitats of the Florida scrub and longleaf pine sandhill. However, it is most common in the southern portions of its habitat; L. deckertii is very rare in northern Florida and southern Georgia.
Despite its global listing, it is listed as critically imperiled in Georgia and vulnerable in Florida.
