Taxonomic notes
Synonyms: Dalea carnea (Michaux) Poiret var. carnea; Petalostemon carneus Michaux[1]
There are three varieties. Dalea carnea var. gracilis and D. carnea var. alba have white flowers, while Dalea carnea var. carnea has pink flowers. The most widespread variety is D. carnea var. carnea.[2]
Description
Herbaceous plant with several elongate, radiating branches spreading through grasses, not erect. Decumbent. It has a turbinate lignotuber.[3]
Distribution
D. carnea occurs from central Georgia south to southern peninsular Florida.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
It is found in wet pine flatwoods, edges of cypress swamps, edges of pine palmetto habitats, Longleaf pine uplands, and in dry pine woods and savannas. It is also found in human disturbed areas such as open fields, embankments, areas that have been logged and clear cut. Requires semi-shaded areas. It is associated with areas that have drying loamy sand, loose sand, where limestone underlies the surface in flatwoods, and well-drained slopes of Longleaf pine forests.[3]
Associated species includes Myrica cerifera, Eupatorium, Polygala, Clematis, Asclepias, Liatris, Indigofera caroliniana, cowpeas, and others.[3]
Dalea carnea is an indicator species for the Panhandle Silty Longleaf Woodlands community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[4]
Phenology
D. carnea has been observed flowering from June to November with peak inflorescence in July.[3][5]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity. [6]
Pollination
Bumblebees and honey bees has been observed on D. carnea.[3]
