Description
Distribution
The Florida distribution is provided by the Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants.
Ecology
Indicator of longleaf pine woodlands; not found on pasture or cultivated lands.[1]
Habitat
D. oblongifolia appears to be restricted to soils with a sandy A horizon, whether in Entisols (sandhills) or Ultisols (clayhills) (KMR,[2]). Native undisturbed longleaf pine assosciate; found in burned and unburned areas.[3] Resides in upland and lowland areas old growth longleaf pine/wiregrass sandhill habitat.[4] A common forb in a fire-maintanied forest structure that is savanna-like with an open canopy of P. palustris.[5] It is found in pineland.[6] It is abundant in longleaf pine communities.[7] Resides in upland, midslope, and lowland areas old growth longleaf pine/wiregrass sandhill habitat.[4]
Phenology
D. oblongifolia germinates and flowers within a few weeks following fire at a wide range of burn dates, at least from March to July (KMR). perennial[3]
Seed dispersal
By ants.[3]
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
It resprouts after fire.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
Was observed to resprout one month after a fire in July of 1993.[8]
