Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, V. aristata can be found in open pine-hardwoods, longleaf pine-scrub oaks, pine flatwoods, annually burned pine woodlands, pine-hardwood second growth, pine-scrub oak sandhills, and longleaf pine forests. [1] It can also be found between railroads and highways in disturbed scrubs. Soil types include loamy sand, red sandy-clay, and sandy loam. [1] Associated species include Pinus palustris, Quercus ilicifolia, Quercus species, and Carya species. [1]

Phenology

Flowers and fruits May through September. [1] Kevin Robertson has observed this species flower within three months of burning. KMR
