Synonyms: C. heterogyna Fernald, C. crassifolia Aiton.[3]
Varieties: none.[3]
Description
C. lanceolata is a perennial forb/herb of the Asteraceae family native to North America.[1] It is a clump-forming plant that has short rhizomes. Leaves can be hairy or glabrous, and basal leaves are divided while upper leaves are oval-shaped and entire. Flower head inflorescence is borne singularly or in small groups, which are yellow in color. Seeds are winged, dark brown, and almost semi-circular to curved.[4]
Distribution
C. lanceolata is native throughout the United States apart from Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. It is also native in Ontario and British Columbia, and has been introduced to Hawaii and the Pacific Basin.[1] This species is often spread by cultivation, and the original range of the species is obscure.[5]
Ecology
Habitat
The species can be found in disturbed areas, savannas, meadows, pastures, prairies, plains, and open woodlands.[5][6] C. lanceolata is listed as a facultative upland and obligate upland species, where it mostly can be found in upland communities but uncommonly in wetlands.[1] The ideal habitat for the C. lanceolata is in dry soil with full sun, but it can tolerate light shade as well.[4] Other habitats that C. lanceolata has been observed in include limestone glades, borders of cypress depressions, naturalization from gardens, and sand dunes. Soils it has been observed to grow on include sandy soil, moist sandy loam, silty-sandy soil, sandy-clayey, and sandy peat.[7]
Associated species: Quercus laevis, Quercus sp., Pinus palustris, Pinus taeda, Oenothera laciniata, Trifolium repens, Trifolium dubium, Trifolium incarnatum, Anthoxanthum odoratum, Lolium perenne, Salvia lyrata, Briza minor, Silene antirrhina, Ilex glabra, and Coreopsis bakeri.[7]
Phenology
Flowering of the C. lanceolata has been observed to flower between January and July, with peak inflorescence between March and May, producing the majority of the buds. [8] It has been observed to fruit from April through June as well as August.[7]
Seed bank and germination
For successful seedlings, a firm seedbed is needed that has been lightly disked. Light plant debris is ideal; more will stifle plant germination. Germination occurs in the fall. [1]
Fire ecology
C. lanceolata has been observed in areas that are frequently burned.[7]
Pollination
Species of the Hymenoptera order that have been observed to pollinate C. lanceolata at the Indiana Dunes and Northwest Indiana include Bombus impatiens, Nomada fervida, Nomada lepida, Nomada maculata, Ceratina mikmaqi, Ceratina strenua, Augochlora pura, Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis metallica, Halictus ligatus, Lasioglossum pectorale, Lasioglossum fuscipenne, Sphecodes pimpinellae, Megachile mendica, and Osmia georgica.[9] The karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) is also known to pollinate this plant.[10]
Use by animals
This species is of special value to native bees and supports conservation biological control through attracting predatory or parasitoid insects that in turn prey on pest insects.[6]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
This species can withstand regular mowing in the summer and fall, but if it is allowed to regrow after initial mowing, C. lanceolata will usually flower inconsistently during the summer. With this, fall mowing is recommended.[4]
Cultural use
Historically, plants in the Coreopsis genus were utilized by Native Americans to make a natural red dye.[11]
