Description
A description of Rhynchospora chalarocephala is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Rhynchospora chalarocephala is widespread across the southeastern Coastal Plain region with disjunct populations in the Eastern Highland Rim and Cumberland Plateau regions of Tennessee and Kentucky.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
Rhynchospora chalarocephala can be found in pine savannas, open depressions in oak-hickory woodlands bordering titi, thickets boardering lakes, seepage slopes, bogs, boggy savannas, open pine flatwoods, pond edges, swampy Hypericum/Ilex thickets, swampy woodland edges, margins of sinkhole ponds, cypress swamp edges, and stream edges.[2] It can also occur along logging roads, edges of titi bogs bordering logging roads, powerline corridors, hillside seepages, hiking trails in wiregrass-longleaf pine woodlands, roadside ditches, disturbed roadside seepage bogs, and culverts.[2] Soil types include sandy peat, sandy loam, loamy sand, mucky soil, peaty soil, sandy alluvial soil, and peat over white sand.[2]
