A description of Pluchea foetida is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, P. foetida can be found at edges of creeks and swampy woodlands, bordering deciduous forests, cypress-sweetgum swamps, cabbage palmetto/ water hickory hammocks, marshy areas, flatwood streams, deeply shaded floodplains, moist depression of snadbars, wet drainage bordering savannas, slash pine-wiregrass flatwoods, wiregrass/saw palmetto with scattered pines and cypress bays, swamp forest, open bogs, and semi shaded mesic woods along creek swamps (FSU Herbarium). It has also been documented to grow in a sandy ditch bordering slash pine/gallberry flatwoods, clearings of swampy woodlands, and moist depressions along trails (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Several short-lived perennial forbs also have a seed bank persistent for at least several years (Platt et al 2006).
