Taxonomic notes
Synonyms: Lechea villosa Elliott; [1]
Varieties: L. villosa var. typica[1]
Description
Frequent within sandhill habitats.[2]
Distribution
L. mucronata ranges from New Hampshire to Michigan and Oklahoma, them south to peninsular Florida, Texas, and northern Mexico.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
This species has been found in open areas in sandy soils of longleaf pine, scrub oak, wiregrass sand ridges as well as sandhills in general.[2] It has also been found in human disturbed areas around garbage dumps and powerline corridors (FSU Herbarium). Associated species include Longleaf pine and wiregrass.[2]
L. mucronata was found to increase its occurrence in response to soil disturbance by agriculture in South Carolina coastal plain and longleaf pine communities.[3] It has shown regrowth in reestablished native longleaf pine habitats that were disturbed by agricultural practices, making it an indicator species for post-agricultural woodlands.[4] However, L. mucronata was found to be neutral in its long-term response following cessation of repeated soil disturbance.[5]
Phenology
This species has been observed flowering in June[6] and fruits July through October.[1]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by consumption by vertebrates.[7]
Fire ecology
Lechea mucronata occurs in areas that are burned.[2]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
