Taxonomic notes
Synonyms: Erechtites hieracifolia var. hieracifolia; E. hieraciifolia var. hieraciifolia; E. hieraciifolius var. hieraciifolius[1]
Varieties: E. hieracifolia var. hieracifolia; E. hieracifolia var. intermedia Fernald; E. hieracifolia var. praealta (Rafinesque) Fernald[1]
Description
"Robust annual with erect, glabrous or slightly pubescent, solid stems, 0.4-3 m or more tall. Leaves alternate, elliptic to lanceolate, 5-20 cm long, 0.5-6.5 cm wide, acute to acuminate, irregularly serrate to dentate, unlobed or lobed, base cuneate to attenuate or upper stem leaves auriculate. Heads in panicles. Involucres cylindric, 10-20 mm long, 4-8 mm broad; bracts in 1 series or with a few small bracts at base. Disc 3-10 mm broad. Flowers discoid, lobes cream to pinkish, erect, 0.3-0.5 mm long. Nutlets brown, tapered from base to apex, 1.9-2.7 mm long, 0.4-0.7 mm broad, 10-ribbed, pubescent; pappus white, capillary, 10-14 mm long." [2]
Distribution
This species can be found from Canada southward, from Newfoundland west to Saskatchewan provinces south to southern Florida and eastern Texas. It is also native south of the United States including the West Indies and Tropical America.[1] It has also been introduced to Hawaii.[3]
Erechtites hieracifolia var. megalocarpa is endemic to an area from southeastern Massachusetts to southern New Jersey and adjacent Delmarva Peninsual.[4]
Ecology
Habitat
Can be found in almost all habitats in disturbed soil besides extremely xeric soils. It is present in most areas of modern beat-up landscapes (even if just seedlings) and appears at the smallest disturbance. With this, it is most prevalent in areas that are heavily disturbed or scarified by timber-harvest, bulldozing, and severe fire disturbance.[1] Habitats that E. hieracifolia has been observed in include edge of drying mudhole, margin of pine flatwoods, hydric hammock, areas disturbed by feral hogs, spoil flats, swamps, sandhills, sandy fields and various clearings, boggy margins, a riparian mixed hardwood community, other woodlands, and a run off area. Soils observed include drying loamy sand, moist sand and other sandy soils, and sandy peat.[5] It has been observed to be an early-successional species, becoming abundant early after disturbance but decreasing in abundance as the years since a disturbance increase.[6] Though it can be found in shady areas, E. hieracifolia requires high light for establishment.[7] E. hieracifolia has shown regrowth in reestablished coastal plain habitat that was disturbed by agricultural practices in South Carolina, making it an indicator species for post-agricultural woodland.[8] It was also found to increase in frequency and biomass in response to soil disturbance by clearcutting and chopping in North Florida flatwoods forests. It has shown regrowth in reestablished native flatwood habitat that was disturbed by these practices.[9] E. hieraciifolius 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.[10]
Associated species include Pluchea sp., Kostelezkya sp., Liatris sp., Panicum sp., Leptoloma cognatum, Ambrosia sp., Conyza canadensis, Mikania scandens, Lygodium japonicum, and other grasses.[5]
Erechtites hieracifolia is an indicator species for the Calcareous Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[11]
Phenology
Generally, this species flowers from late July until November.[1] E. hieracifolia has been obseved flowering in all months besides February and May, and has been observed fruiting in March, April, and June through October.[12][5]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by wind. [13]
Seed bank and germination
E. hieracifolia was found in the seed banks of bays dominated by herbaceous and shrub plants in western South Carolina.[14] Another study found this species to germinate from the seed bank of a restoration site in southwest Georgia even when the species was not part of the herbaceous vegetation.[15] Seeds were also one of the highest importance values in a Virginia pocosin for early succession.[16] As well, this species has a positive germination response to fire disturbance.[17] Almost all seeds in a study by Mou germinated pre-scarification, and almost all germinated in an early-successional time period.[18]
An early 2000s study found that while E. hieracifolia is found in the seed beds of old agricultural field soils, it is absent from the seed banks in flatwoods soils.[19]
Fire ecology
It has been observed in areas that are frequently burned and annually burned.[5] One study in New Hampshire found this species to germinate in response to fire.[17] Cool burns as well as litter removal have been shown to improve germination success, which could mean that removing litter is a process that favors colonization.[20] E. hieracifolia has been seen to immediately increase in response to fire since it is opportunistic, but decrease in abundance in the years following a fire disturbance to its original abundance before fire was introduced.[21][22] It can also tolerate fire whether or not the herbicide imazapyr is applied to the plant.[23] A study on fire seasonality only found E. hieracifolia to benefit from winter burns.[24] As well, overall biomass of this species was found to hit its peak eight months after a fire disturbance.[25]
Pollination
Erechtites hieracifolia has been observed at the Archbold Biological Station as being a host to sweat bees such as Halictus poeyi (family Halictidae), wasps such as Leucospis affinis (family Leucospidae), leafcutting bees such as Dianthidium floridiense (family Megachilidae), and wasps from the Vespidae family such as Leptochilus republicanus, Parancistrocerus bicornis, P. salcularis rufulus, and Polistes dorsalis hunteri.[26] Other species in the Hymenoptera order observed to pollinate E. hieracifolia include Anthidiellum perplexum and Megachile albitarsis.[27] Additionally, E. hieracifolia has been observed to host bees such as Bombus impatiens (family Apidae), ladybugs from the Coccinellidae family such as Coccinella septempunctata, Cycloneda sanguinea, Diomus terminatus and Exochomus childreni, as well as bugs such as Rhynchomitra microrhina (family Dictyopharidae), aphids such as Aphis sp. (family Aphididae), and wasps from the family Vespidae such as Vespula germanica and Entylia carinata.[28]
Herbivory and toxicology
E. hieracifoliaconsists of approximately 2-5% of the diet for various terrestrial birds.[29]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
For management, this species is resistant to the herbicide imazapyr.[23] It is also quite resistant to the herbicide imazapyr-glyphosate.[30]
