Taxonomic notes
Synonym: Xolisma fruticosa (Michaux) Nash.[1]
Varieties: none.[1]
The genus Lyonia is named for John Lyon a 19th century botanist who is best known for his travels in southern Appalachians.[2]
Description
A description of Lyonia fruticosa is provided in The Flora of North America.
It is very similar to L. ferruginea however, L. fruticosa has scales on the abaxial side that are all the same size.[3]
Distribution
L. fruticosa ranges from southeast South Carolina to southern peninsular Florida, and west to Panhandle Florida.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
Habitats of L. fruticosa include pine flatwoods, pine-oak scrubs, pine/saw palmetto flats, Cyrilla swamps, cypress-gum swamps, shrub bogs, upland xeric sand pine/sand live oak communities, depression marshes, shore hammock, and mesic hardwood hammocks. It has been observed growing in abandoned dumps and slash pine plantations. Substrates include loamy sand and white sand.
L. fruticosa decreased its cover and stems per acre in response to chopping in south Florida saw palmetto-pineland communities. It has shown resistance to regrowth in reestablished pine habitat that was disturbed by this practice.[4]
Associated species include Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Myrica cerifera, Aronia, Sarracenia minor, Rhododendron, Kalmia, Hypericum, Serenoa repens, Agalinis and Sphagnum.[5][6]
Phenology
The white urn-shaped flowers and dry, egg shaped fruits appear March through December.[7][5] L. fruticosa has been observed flowering March to December with peak inflorescence in June.[8]
Fire ecology
L. fruticosa recovers post-fire from resprouting and clonal growth[9] and shows a significant positive trend in percent frequency with time since last fire in rosemary scrubs.[10] Density is the highest 12 months post burn.[6]
Pollination
The following species were observed visiting flowers of Lyonia fruticosa at the Archbold Biological Station:[11]
Bees from the family Apidae: Bombus impatiens
Plasterer bees from the family Colletidae: Colletes banksi, C. distinctus, C. productus, C. sp. A
Sweat bees from the family Halictidae: Augochloropsis sumptuosa
Thread-waisted wasps from the family Sphecidae: Stictia carolina
Wasps from the family Vespidae: Monobia quadridens
Diseases and parasites
The lace bug Stephanitis blatchleyi has not been observed on L. fruticosa but has been found on L. ferruginea.[12] Exobasidiaceae causes galls on the leaves of L. fruticosa.[2]
