Description
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It is associated with longleaf pine-wiregrass communities (Hainds et al 1999). Is found in limestone glades in Leavenworth Barrens Nature Preserve in Crawford County, Indiana where burning is important (Wade and Menges 1986). Strophostyles umbellata is predominately in native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia (Ostertag and Robertson 2007).
Phenology
It blooms from late June to early July (Hainds et al 1999).
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
It occurs in areas that are frequently burned (Hainds et al 1999).
Pollination
Use by animals
It is included in bobwhite quail diet (Sweeney 1981).
Diseases and parasites
