Description
L. stuevei is a perennial forb/herb of the Fabaceae family native to North America.[2] Stems erect, very leafy; leaves alternate, pinnately trifoliolate compound; leaflets 3, sparsely hairy to very hairy on the upper surface, very hairy on the lower surface, without stipels; flowers in dense clusters; fruit is a 1-seeded, indehiscent pod.[3]
Distribution
L. stuevei ranges from Massachusetts to peninsular Florida, west to Texas, and into North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
L. stuevei is found in woodlands and woodlands borders.[4] Specimens have been collected from dry open upland pine woods, old field with sandy clay, disturbed open pineland, old field, roadsides, and pine-oak sand ridge.[5]
L. stuevei has shown regrowth in reestablished longleaf woodlands that were disturbed by agriculture in South Carolina, making it an indicator species for post-agricultural woodlands.[6]
Phenology
L. stuevei flowers from July through September and fruits from August to November.[1]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity.[7]
Fire ecology
Populations of Lespedeza stuevei have been known to persist through repeated annual burning.[8]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
L. stuevei is listed as extirpated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Nature Preserves and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, as a special concern species by the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission, and as threatened by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Land and Forests.[2]
