Distribution
Found in the southeastern U.S., Texas; West Indies, Mexico, Central and South America.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
Vigna luteola occurs along bays, river banks, palmetto hammocks, bordering mangrove swamps, lagoon shores, salt marsh banks, scrub oak-palmetto near the coast, along seepage slopes, and coastal sea oats grasslands. It has also can be found in disturbed areas such as cleared borders of slash pine flatwoods and disturbed beaches.[4] It can be used as a short term legume in pastures, green manure, or as ley in croplands.[5] Prefers moist soils which include loamy sand, sandy loam, and oyster shells.[4] It is a major component of intermediate marshes and can shade out other perennials.[6] This species nodulates freely and effectively and releases nitrogen when it dies that can improve the growth of associated grasses.[7]
Associated species include Bidens laevis, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Aster puniceus, Rynchospora, Uniola paniculata, Helianthus debilis, and Paspalum.[4]
Phenology
Flowers and fruits February through November.[4][8]
It establishes a tripartite symbiosis with indigenous rhizobia and AM fungi for phosphorous uptake.[9] Hernandez et al. found that the most efficient fungus in promoting growth of V. luteola was Glomus mosseae.[10]
Seed dispersal
The legume pods are dehiscent.[5] Animals who eat the legumes can spread the seed in dung under favorable conditions of warmth and moisture.[7]
Fire ecology
It has been observed growing in recently burned pine woodlands.[4]
Pollination
Sweat bees such as Halictus poeyi (family Halictidae) and leafcutting bees such as Anthidium maculifrons, Coelioxys sayi, Dianthidium floridiense and Megachile sp. (family Megachilidae) were observed visiting flowers of Vigna luteola at the Archbold Biological Station.[11]
Herbivory and toxicology
V. luteola is a source of food for white-tailed deer.[12]
Diseases and parasites
This species can suffer from damage from catterpillars (Prodenia spp.) and jassids (Cicadellidae: Homoptera). In Australia, it can suffer from the peanut mottle virus.[5]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
It can be used for as a short term legume in pastures, green manure, or ley in croplands.[5]
