Taxonomic notes
Synonyms: Gastronychia herniarioides (Michx.) Small.[1]
Varieties: none.[1]
Paronychia comes from a Greek word for whitlow, a disease that infected the fingers.[2]
Description
A description of Paronychia herniarioides is provided in The Flora of North America.
This species is a prostrate, pubescent annual. It is diffusely branched with limbs that are 0.5-3.5 dm long. The leaves are obtuse, 3-12 mm long, and 1.5-3.5 mm wide, with an oblong-elliptic or spatulate shape. The stipules 0.5-4 mm long and the calyx is turgidly basal. The sepals are brown, indurate, pubescent, short-awned.[1][3]
Distribution
The distribution of P. herniarioides is restricted to the southeastern Coastal Plain from South Carolina south to Florida and west to Alabama. It is rare in South Carolina and Florida.[4]
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain, P. herniarioides occurs in xeric, sandy soil of longleaf pine-turkey oak sand ridges. Associated species include Lyonia ferruginea, Ceratiola, Stylisma pickeringii var. pickeringii, Opuntia humifusa, Quercus geminata, Quercus myrtifolia and Polygonella.[5][6]
Phenology
This species flowers from April through June.[3]
Pollination
Paronychia herniarioides was observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host sweat bees from the Halictidae family such as Lasioglossum nymphalis and thread-waisted wasps from the Sphecidae family such as Tachysphex apicalis.[7]
