Description
Chapmannia floridana is an erect perennial herb arising from a fleshy tap root and can reach three feet in height.[2] All parts of the plant are covered with sticky hairs and leaves are alternately arranged.[3] It is a nitrogen fixer.[4]The fruits are latitudinally segmented pods with one seed in each segment. The seeds are covered with grandular trichomes that may protect against seed predation and aid in seed dispersal.[5]
The root system of C. floridana includes stem tubers which store non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) important for both resprouting following fire and persisting during long periods of fire exclusion.[6] Diaz-Toribio and Putz (2021) recorded this species to have an NSC concentration of 155.5 mg/g (ranking 35 out of 100 species studied) and water content of 44.6% (ranking 23 out of 100 species studied).[6]
Distribution
The Chapmannia genera is endemic to the longleaf pine range from southeastern Virginia to central Florida and west to southeast Texas.[7] C. floridana is endemic to Florida.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, C. floridana has been found in turkey oak/longleaf pine sand ridges; pine-palmettos flatwoods; longleaf pine-wiregrass ridges; and scrub oak sand ridges. It is found in large populations in highly disturbed areas compared to undisturbed areas, making it unusual from other Florida endemic scrub species which are sensitive to disturbance[4]. Populations have been found in disturbed areas such as heavily cattle grazed longleaf pine-saw palmetto flatwoods, roadsides, and pastures.[4][8]
Phenology
Flowers are yellow and orange and are composed of three petals.[3] C. floridana has been observed flowering April through August and fruiting in May.[8][9]
Fire ecology
Carrington (1999) found C. floridana to be a strong re-sprouter after fire, however it did not show a strong flowering response.[10] Seedlings were only present for five months post-fire, suggesting a weak seedling establishment after fire.[10] Populations have been observed to be low in undisturbed, burned areas.[4]
Pollination
Bombus impatiens and Augochloropsis are the major visitors to C. floridana. They have been observed ripping holes in the sides of the keel petals of the flower and vibrating their wings to get pollen out of the floral tube. Pollinators visitation rates are affected by temperature, flower size, and flowering density.[4] C. floridana has been observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host bees such as Bombus impatiens (family Apidae) and sweat bees from the Halictidae family such as Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis metallica, Lasioglossum nymphalis and L. placidensis.[11]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
Global status rank: G5 secure [12].
