Description
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, T. smallii can be found in recently burned scrubs, scrub oak-wiregrass communities, wiregrass-pine flatwoods, longleaf pine/wiregrass/scrub oak sandhills, recently burned longleaf pine/wiregrass communities, pine savannas, and around ephemeral ponds. [1] [2] It can also be found along old logging roads, recreation areas, and bulldozed wiregrass-pinewoods. Soil types include loamy sand, sand, sandy loam, and loamy soil. [1] T. smallii responds both negatively and not at all to soil disturbance by roller chopping in Northwest Florida sandhills.[3]
Associated species include Liatris, Panicum, Leptoloma cognata, Sphenopholis nitida, Euphorbia inundata, Paspalum, Rhynchospora, Macbridea, and Justicia crassifolia. [1]
Phenology
T. smallii has been observed flowering April through October and fruiting April through August.[1][4]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by ants and/or explosive dehiscence. [5]
Fire ecology
It is fire tolerant; Tragia smallii was found frequently on plots in the Kisatchie National Forest burned 20 times each in March and July from 1962 to 1998, but rarely on plots burned in May. [2]
