Description

C. longifolia is a perennial graminoid of the Poaceae family native to North America. [1]

Distribution

C. longifolia is commonly found in the south and eastern United States.[1] The subspecies, ssp. cobsii can be found along the outer Coastal Plain from southeast Massachusetts to Florida and west to southeast Louisiana, while ssp. longifolia can be found in the rest of the native distribution.[2]

Ecology

Habitat

Coleataenia longifolia is listed as a facultative upland species that usually occurs in non-wetland areas, but can also be found in wetland habitats[1] such as pond shores, depression meadows, cypress savannas, marshes, and low woods.[2] This species has been recovered for specimens from habitats including bogs, bottomland of hardwood forests, moist loamy sands, of pinelands, and wet shady loam near streams.[4]

C. longifolia ssp. combsii is a longleaf pine ecosystem associate that is considered rare in Georgia.[5]

Associated species include Triadica sebifera, Rhexia virginica, Rhexia mariana, Cinna arundinacea, Scirpus cyperinus, Eupatorium serotinum, Quercus virginiana, Quercus laurifolia, Liquidambar styraciflua, Carya sp., and Fagus sp.[4]

Phenology

C. longifolia has been observed to flower in December.[6] However, C. longifolia ssp. comsii is noted to flower in the summer.[5]

Conservation, cultivation, and restoration

C. longifolia is listed as threatened by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. It is also listed as extirpated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, as presumed extirpated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and a species of special concern by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.[1]
