Taxonomic notes
Description
Dichanthelium strigosum is a perennial graminoid theat tends to grow in thick mats (FSU Herbarium).
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It can be found in relatively undisturbed areas,[1] including longleaf pine savannas,[2] saw palmetto-wax myrtle thickets, sandhill ridges, and bogs (FSU Herbarium). However, D. strigosum also occurs in disturbed areas like power line corridors, roadsides, fields, and clear-cuts (FSU Herbarium). This species seems to prefer moist sandy soils (FSU Herbarium).
Associated species include Rhynchospora pusilla, Ludwigia linifolia, Andropogon, Schizachyrium, Eupatorium, Serenoa repens, Juniperus, Schoenus (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Flowering and fruiting has been observed in February, as well as April through August (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
Seed dispersed by gravity.[3]
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
It can tolerate biennial, early growing season prescribed fires.[2]
Pollination
Use by animals
