Varieties: none[1]

Description

A description of Croptilon divaricatum is provided in The Flora of North America.

Distribution

Occurs in the U.S. Gulf States in areas that have sandy soil where pocket gophers inhabit. This gives the area the characteristic disturbed appearance, bare ground and freshly turned patches of soil. [2] It is found occasionally in disturbed areas as defined in - Analysis of Longleaf Pine Sandhill Vegetation in Northwest Florida - in the bluestem-dominant plots.[3]

Ecology

Pine thinning resulted in significantly higher frequencies of C. divaricatum after 5 and 8 years.[4]

Habitat

Croptilon divaricatum is found in Longleaf pine-wiregrass savannas[4], turkey oak sand ridges, and edges of hardwood swamps and hillside bogs. It is also found in human disturbed areas, such as roadsides, fallow fields, and orange groves. This species requires high light levels and is associated with areas of sandy loam, clayey soil, and sandy soil types.[5]

C. divaricatum is found in open areas near the edges of mixed pine-hardwood forests and wetlands, at boundaries between or near 2 or more natural communities in Alachua County, Florida,[6] and at the Sandhill Research and Education Center in South Carolina where soil series include Lakeland sands, loamy sands, which are mostly entisols (arenic and grosarenic quartzipsamments) with high permeability and low available water capacity. Previously, the Center was an agricultural area, so some of the land includes mosaic old-fields, pine stands, scrub oak dominated forests, and forested wetlands.[7]

Associated species include Aster, Conyza, Lygodesmia, Liatris, Panicum, Leptoloma oognatum, and others. [5]

Phenology

It is a summer annual.[2] It has been observed fruiting in October and November. [5]

Seed dispersal

This species is thought to be dispersed by wind. [8]

Fire ecology

It is found in frequently burned areas, such as Longleaf pine savannas. [5]

Pollination

Bees were captured on Croptilon divaricatum.[6]

Herbivory and toxicology

Additionally, this species has been observed to host ground-nesting bees from the Andrenidae family such as Perdita bishoppi, P. cambarella and P. ignota, as well as plant bugs from the Miridae family such as Lygus lineolaris and Pseudatomoscelis seriatus.[9]
