Description
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It can be found in mid-grass prairie communities.[1] It can also be found in longleaf pine communities, though it is not as common since they're dominated by perennial species.[2]
Phenology
It is seasonal; it is mainly found from May to December, peaking in September in a study at Padre Island.[1]
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
It germinates after fire.[1]
Fire ecology
Are included in the flowering plant survery – post burn – in Heuberger’s study[3]
