Description
A description of Verbesina aristata is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, V. aristata can be found in open pine-hardwoods, longleaf pine-scrub oaks, pine flatwoods, annually burned pine woodlands, pine-hardwood second growth, pine-scrub oak sandhills, and longleaf pine forests.[2] Additionally, a study exploring longleaf pine patch dynamics found V. aristata to be most strongly represented within longleaf pine gaps and under patches of longleaf that are up to 180 years of age.[3] This species can also be found between railroads and highways in disturbed scrubs. Soil types include loamy sand, red sandy-clay, and sandy loam.[2]
Associated species include Pinus palustris, Quercus ilicifolia, Quercus species, and Carya species.[2]
Phenology
This species has been be observed to flower and fruit May through September.[2][4] Kevin Robertson has observed this species flower within three months of burning. KMR
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by wind.[5]
Fire ecology
Populations of Verbesina aristata have been known to persist through repeated annual burns.[6][7] It flowers within three months of burning in the spring or early summer (Robertson observation).
