Description
A description of Cuthbertia ornata is provided in The Flora of North America.
C. ornata is an annual plant with linear blades and a stalk that can reach up to 12 inches high.[2][3] It can be identified by having thin, grass-like leaves along the stem and a flower scape that is held above the nearest leaves.[2]
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
C. ornata is endemic to the Florida peninsula and can be found in sandhills, palmetto-wiregrass scrubs, sandscrub, oak scrub, and flatwoods.[4] It is also found in disturbed areas such as sandy roadsides.[2][3]
Phenology
Flowers are pink, ephemeral, bisexual, and radially symmetrical (Lakela 1972); usually blooming late summer and early fall.[2]
Seed dispersal
In late summer and early fall the ripened seeds can be found scattered below the parent.[2]
