Description
A description of Polanisia tenuifolia is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
It is a regional endemic found in the Florida panhandle to southeast Mississippi.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
Habitats of P. tenuifolia include longleaf pine/scrub oak ridges, sandhills, and dry pinelands.[1][2] Associated species include Balduina angustifolia, Licania michauxii, Conradina canescens, Opuntia humifusa, O. pusilla, Froelichia floridana, Cypersus retrosus, Stipulicida setacea, Polygonella gracilis, Diodia teres, Triplasis americana,and Heterotheca subaxillaris (UF Herbarium).
Phenology
P. tenuifolia has been observed flowering in June and July.[3]
Seed dispersal
This species has vertically dangling pods called siliques, which open gradually dispenses seeds.[4]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Polanisia tenuifolia at Archbold Biological Station:[5]
Sweat bees from the family Halictidae: Augochloropsis metallica, Lasioglossum nymphalis
Leafcutting bees from the family Megachilidae: Dolichostelis louisae, Megachile brevis pseudobrevis
Thread-waisted wasps from the family Sphecidae: Cerceris blakei, Ectemnius rufipes ais, Tachysphex similis
Wasps from the family Vespidae: Leptochilus krombeini, Microdynerus monolobus, Stenodynerus histrionalis rufustus
Herbivory and toxicology
Polanisia tenuifolia produces glandular hairs which are believed to deter insect feeding and creeping.[4]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
Loss of habitat of dunes to vacation homes and resorts is threatening this species.[1]
Cultural use
