Common Name: Roundleaf thoroughwort

Distribution

Ecology

It has well-documented anticancer activities against various human cancer cell lines.[1]

Habitat

It is found i river bottoms, creek bluffs, slash pine-palmetto flatwoods, near streams, in open-dry habitats, mixed woodlands, savannas, marshy areas, bottomland woodlands, edges of thickets, edges of titi swamps, open boggy areas, Longleaf pine-wiregrass savannas, and well-drained uplands (FSU Herbarium). It is also found in human disturbed areas such as pinelands that have been clear cut and plowed, roadside edges and ditches, in a drainage ditch, in roadside thickets, powerline corridors, in plowed pastures, and in fire breaks bordering pine flatwoods (FSU Herbarium).

It can be found in areas regularly burned every 1 to 2 years in the winter. It can be found in longleaf pine savanna communities.[2]

Phenology

It has been observed flowering and fruiting from July to November (FSU Herbarium).
