''Dyschoriste oblongifolia'' is a perennial herb with opposite branches from elongate, slender rhizomes. Plant 1-5 dm tall; stems pilose. Leaves glabrate, oblanceolate to eliptic, to 4.5 cm long and 1.5 cm wide, entire or undulate, ciliate, sesslie or subsessile. Flowers subsessile, solitary or clustered in the leaf axils; bracts foliaceous, opposite, 15-18 mm long. Calyx pubescent, 15-20 cm long, tube short, lobes 5, linear-aristate; corolla 1.5-3 cm long, blue, funnelform, somewhat 2-lipped, lobes 5, 5-10 cm long; stamens 4, anther locules parallel; style to 1.5 cm long, 1-2 ovlues per locule, seeds 1 per locule, gray, ca. 2.5 mm broad.

Description

Dyschoriste oblongifolia is a perennial herb with opposite branches from elongate, slender rhizomes. Plant 1-5 dm tall; stems pilose. Leaves glabrate, oblanceolate to eliptic, to 4.5 cm long and 1.5 cm wide, entire or undulate, ciliate, sesslie or subsessile. Flowers subsessile, solitary or clustered in the leaf axils; bracts foliaceous, opposite, 15-18 mm long. Calyx pubescent, 15-20 cm long, tube short, lobes 5, linear-aristate; corolla 1.5-3 cm long, blue, funnelform, somewhat 2-lipped, lobes 5, 5-10 cm long; stamens 4, anther locules parallel; style to 1.5 cm long, 1-2 ovlues per locule, seeds 1 per locule, gray, ca. 2.5 mm broad. Capsules, brown, oblong, 12-14 mm long, ca. 3 mm in diameter. [2] D. oblongifolia is a low-growing groundcover that spreads by underground runners.[3]

Distribution

The Florida distribution is provided by the Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants.

Ecology

Habitat

General habitats include pine flatwoods, savannas, and sandhills.[1] Indicator of native (unplowed) longleaf pine woodlands in upland Ultisol soils, and conversely rarely found on pasture or cultivated lands in that soil type[4][5][6]. Appears to be restricted to soils with a sandy A horizon, whether in Entisols (sandhills) or Ultisols (clayhills).[7] Where present in native longleaf pine-wiregrass habitats it is common and abundant.[8][5]

Dyschoriste oblongifolia has been found to be strongly associated with native groundcover as opposed to old-field groundcover upland pinelands of southern Georgia.[5] This species also has been observed in scrub environments, turkey oak barrens, wiregrass-palmetto flatwoods, mixed hardwood forests, mixed pine-hardwoods, and slopes and ridges of longleaf pine forests.[9][10][11] D. oblongifolia is abundant in longleaf pine communities.[12] A study exploring longleaf pine patch dynamics found D. oblongifolia to be most strongly represented within stands of longleaf pine that are between 10-130 years of age.[13] It occurs in upland, midslope, and lowland areas old growth longleaf pine/wiregrass sandhill habitat.[10] In deep sand soils it can grow in human disturbed areas such as recently cleared pine forests, ruderal edges of sandhills, roadsides, plowed areas, bulldozed areas, and open fields.[9] This suggests that its absence from Ultisol soils in post-agricultural areas may be in part due to changes in the soil structure associated with erosion of the sandy A horizon, and it may also relate to loss of native ants that act as seed dispersers.[6] D. oblongifolia can grow in both full light and semi shaded environments in deep, loose, and/or loamy sands along ridges and generally flat areas.[9] It is also a characteristic species of the shortleaf pine-oak-hickory woodlands habitat in the Red Hills Region of north Florida and south Georgia.[14]

D. oblongifolia was found to have reduced occurrence or it became absent in response to soil disturbance by agriculture in the South Carolina coastal plains and southwest Georgia.[5][15][16][17] It has shown resistance to regrowth in reestablished habitats that were disturbed by agricultural practices, making it a remnant woodland indicator species.[18][19] D. oblongifolia was found to be a decreaser in its long-term response following cessation of repeated soil disturbance.[20]

Although it spreads by runners, it does not compete well with larger and denser species.[3]

Associated species include Serenoa repens, Ilex glabra, Myrica, Aristida, Quercus laevis, Scutellaria multiglandulosa, Tephrosia virginiana.[9]

Dyschoriste oblongifolia is an indicator species for the North Florida Subxeric Sandhills community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[21]

Phenology

D. oblongifolia generally flowers from April until May.[1] It germinates and flowers within a few weeks following fire at a wide range of burn dates, at least from March to July.[7] It has been observed to flower from March to November with peak inflorescence in April and May.[22][9] Kevin Robertson has observed this species flower within three months of burning. KMR

Seed dispersal

Although Dyschoriste oblongifolia spreads primarily by underground runners, it does produce many seeds when its seed capsules split open.[3] This species is thought to be dispersed by ants and/or explosive dehiscence.[23][6]

Fire ecology

Populations of Dyschoriste oblongifolia have been known to persist through repeated annual burns,[24] but it has been found in both burned and unburned areas.[9] This species re-sprouts rapidly after fire[12] and flowers predictably within one or two months following burning in the spring and summer.[7][25] Conversely, flowering is rather sparse and inconsistent in years without fire.[26] On Long Pine Key in Everglades National Park, D. oblongifolia was found to flower and fruit from May to September one year following an April fire and to a lesser degree in April to June two years following the fire, but it did not flower or fruit at all in plots burned six years prior.[27]

Pollination

Dyschoriste oblongifolia attracts many pollinators, especially bees.[3]

Herbivory and toxicology

D. oblongifolia is a larval food sources for the common buckeye butterfly (Junonia coenia).[3] D. oblongifolia has been observed to be eaten by adult and juvenile gopher tortoises (Gohperus polyphemus).[28]

Conservation, cultivation, and restoration

D. oblongifolia is critically imperiled in the state of Alabama.[29] This species should avoid soil disturbance by agriculture to conserve its presence in pine communities.[5][15][16][17][18][19]
