Description
L. catesbaei is a perennial forb/herb of the Liliaceae family native to North America.[1]
Distribution
L. catesbaei is endemic to the longleaf pine forest range[4] from southeastern North Carolina, south to Florida, and west to Louisiana.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
L. catesbaei proliferate in pine savannas and sandhill seeps.[2] Specimens have been collected from moist sandy soil with wiregrass, sandy peat of savanna, pine flatwoods, cypress pond slash pine, open longleaf pine stand, pine savanna, and roadsides.[5]
L. catesbaei was found to increase its occurrence of flowering plants in response to soil disturbance by restoration roller chopping with and without fire in Southwest Florida. It has shown regrowth in reestablished native habitat that was disturbed by these practices.[6]
Phenology
L. catesbaei has been observed flowering June through October.[7]
Fire ecology
L. catesbaei flowers more conspicuously following a fire.[8]
Pollination
Pollinators of this species include a variety of butterflies; the most effective being swallowtails. Observed possible pollinators include spicebush swallowtail, cloudless sulfur (Phoebis sennae), Palamedes, eastern black swallowtail, and green lynxes.[9] The Florida Dust Skipper is an uncommon species that has been spotted on Lilium catesbaei as well.[10]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
L. catesbaei is listed as threatened by the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services Division of Plant Industry.[1]
