Taxonomic notes

Varieties: C. torreyi Britton[1]
Description
A description of Cyperus retrorsus is provided in The Flora of North America. Cyperus retrorsus is a perennial graminoid. Most individuals are composed of 1-3 stems. [2]
Distribution
C. retrorsus is natively distributed from south New York south to Florida and west to Texas. It is mostly found within the Gulf Coastal Plain, but can also be found up to Kentucky and west to southeast Oklahoma.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
C. retrorsus requires wet summers and dry winters.[4] It also prefers higher light levels associated with open or semi-shaded conditions, and moist to wet sandy soils. [2] It has been observed growing in a variety of related soil types, including wet sand, moist sandy peat, moist loamy sand, drying sandy soil, drying loam, peat, and dry sterile sand. [2]
As such, this species can be found in or near wet habitat like pocosin communities,[5] lake shores, phosphate pools, marshes, lakeside sinkhole berms, drained bogs, river floodplains, seepage streams, and drying wetland depressions. [2] However, it also can be found in drier areas, including flatwoods communities,[6] and longleaf pine communities.[7] Additionally, it has been found in oak-hickory forests, grassy areas on islands, turkey oak sand ridges, sandhills, live oak hammocks, dried lake bottoms, pine flatwoods-savannas, old stabilized sand dunes, prairies, open scrub, and scrub barrens. [2]
Along with being found in natural community types, C. retrorsus has been found in disturbed habitat such as cleared floodplains, roadside ditches, railways, trail edges, clear-cuts, fallow fields, borrow pits, dredge spoils, former pine plantations, orange groves, longleaf pine restoration sites, and disturbed sandhill communities. [2]
C. retrorsus has shown positive regrowth in reestablished longleaf pinelands that were disturbed by agriculture in South Carolina, making it a post-agricultural woodland indicator species.[8] C. retrorsus had no response to soil disturbance by bracke seeding, high-severity burning, and salvage logging in central Florida.[9] It was found to have a mixed response to disturbance by clearcutting in central Florida. In some areas of central Florida, the plant did not respond and in others the plant increased its cover. It sometimes showed regrowth in reestablished sand pine scrub communities that were disturbed by clearcutting.[10] Additionally, C. retrorsus increased its cover in response to single roller chopping and broadcast seeding in central Florida. It has also shown regrowth in in reestablished native scrub habitat that was disturbed by these practices.[11] It additionally increased its frequency in response to soil disturbance by clearcutting and chopping in North Florida flatwoods forests. In reestablished native flatwood habitat that was disturbed by clearcutting and chopping, the plant showed additional regrowth.[12] C. retrosus was found to be an increaser in its short-term response to single mechanical soil disturbances as well as in its long-term response following cessation of repeated soil disturbance.[13]
Associated species include Paspalum notatum, Eupatorium mohrii, Rubus cuneifolius, Ludwigia maritima, Pityopsis, Solidago fistulosa, Aletris lutea, Eleusine, Dactyloctenium, Digitaria, Panicum, Rhynchospora fernaldii, R. fasicularis, Andropogon, Scleria reticularis, Trilisa, Liatris, Aristida, Andropogon, Bulbostylis, Clitoria, Juncus, Pteridium aquilinum, Cyperus filiculmis, Commelina erecta, Serenoa repens, Sagittaria graminea, Woodwardia virginica, Nyssa biflora, Acer rubrum, Liquidambar styraciflua, Rynchospora fernaldii, R. fascicularis, Carex longii, madien cane, and others. [2]
Phenology
This species has been observed to flower between July through October.[2][14]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity.[15][16]
Seed bank and germination
It accounted for 29% of a late-summer Virginia pocosin seed bank.[5] It was also found viable in the seedbank in a pine flatwoods site in Florida after 8 years of fire exclusion[17] and in the seed bank of a longleaf pine community in the western panhandle region of Florida. [7]
An early 2000s study on seed bank composition found C. retrorsus to be one of five Cyperus species that were most common in both restoration and flatwoods soils; these species dominated restoration soils, accounting for 83% of new seedlings.[18]
Fire ecology
C. cyperus has been found in burned areas including recently burned slash pine-scrub flat, annually burned savanna, and frequently burned mature longleaf pine-wiregrass communities, indicating a level of fire tolerance. [2]
It responds best to a moderate-severity level burn. Recovery after fire is achieved by resprouting and seed.[4] Abundance was found to significantly decrease over 25 years after fire in a scrubby flatwoods, suggesting the significance of fire in its life history.[19]
Herbivory and toxicology
Cyperus retrorsus consists of approximately 2-5% of the diet for large mammals, and 5-10% of the diet for small mammals, water birds, and terrestrial birds.[20]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
This species is listed as endangered by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Land and Forests, and listed as extirpated by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.[21]
