Description
A description of Pectis linearifolia is provided in The Flora of North America. It is a small, annual species that emits a lemon-citrus odor when crushed.[2]
Distribution
It is endemic to southern peninsular Florida,[2] specifically starting at Alachua County and continuing south.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, P. linearifolia has been observed in sand-shell scrubs, sandridges, abandoned railroad beds, and a cleared longleaf pineland with live oak, saw palmetto, Viburnum obovatum, cabbage palmetto, Fraxinus, Myrica and Salix. [3]
Phenology
P. linearifolia has been observed flowering and fruiting August through November. [3]
Seed bank and germination
Seeds germinate when scattered in pot or on the ground however have trouble growing indoors. [4]
Herbivory and toxicology
Pectis linearifolia was observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host sweat bees from the Halictidae family such as Augochlorella gratiosa, Lasioglossum nymphalis and L. puteulanum, and wasps from the Vespidae family such as Stenodynerus fundatiformis.[5]
Diseases and parasites
Aphids are the only known parasites.[6]
