Description
Lycopus rubellus is a dioecious perennial forb/herb.[2] It produces white flowers.[3] Leaves are lance-ovate and 5-12 cm long with a sessile or short petiole. Rhizomes produce tubers at the extremities.[4]
Distribution
This species occurs from Maine, westward to Michigan, and southward to Florida and Texas.[1] Reports also exist for its occurrence in Oregon.[2]
Ecology
Habitat
L. rubellus is found in marshes, swamp forests, and bottomlands.[1] On Arkansas floating mats, L. rubellus composed less than 1% of the vegetative cover.[5] In Indiana, L. rubellus grows on floating logs, stumps, and at bases of living trees.[6]
Phenology
In the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, L. rubellus flowers from June through November.[1]
Seed bank and germination
After submerging seeds in a water filled jar for 130 days, speeds from L. rubellus still germinated and produced seedlings.[7]
