Description
A description of Pleopeltis michauxiana is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, P. michauxiana is an epiphytic plant that can be found in cabbage palm hammocks, trunks of sand live oaks, live oaks, ravines, old fallen logs, limestone fern grottos, cherry trees, and upland trees.[2] It can also be found on shaded roadside banks, hiking trails in mixed hardwood forests, and on clay bank roadsides. This epiphytic fern lacks soil which puts it at a high risk of desiccation although it is able to survive a significant amount of time without any water source.[3] Associated species include Pinus clausa, Quercus geminata, Quercus falcata and Quercus virginiana.[2]
Fire ecology
Populations of Pleopeltis michauxiana have been known to persist through repeated annual burns.[4]
