In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, ''O. laciniata'' occurs in shrub bogs, pine flatwoods, and pine savannas. It is observed to be a ruderal species and has been found in disturbed areas such as sandy vacant lots, moist roadsides, fallow fields, and railroad beds. Soil types include sandy loam, loam, and loamy sand. Associated species include ''Drosera, Calopogon, Briza'', and ''Cerastium.''<ref name="FSU Herbarium">Florida State University Robert K.

Description

"Usually pubescent, branched biennials or perennials. Leaves alternate, the upper reduced, sessile or subsessile, the lower frequently petiolate. Inflorescent terminal, flowers solitary from axils of bracts or reduced upper leaves. Calyx tube (hypanthium above ovary or capsule) prolonged; lobes (sepals) 4, acute. Petals 4, yellow, pink, or white, usually widely obcordate. Stamens 8, exserted; stigmas 4. Capsules oblong to obovoid or clavate; seeds numerous, not comose."[2]

"Pubescent biennial, usually with decumbent, basal branches, stems to 7.5 dm long. Leaves oblanceolate to elliptic, pubescent to glabrate, acute, irregularly lobed or pinnatifid, repand or almost entire, base attenuate; petioles absent or to 3 cm long on basal leaves. Calyx tube 2-2.5 cm long, lobes 6-12 mm long; petals yellow to reddish, 8-25 mm long; anthers 3-6 mm long. Capsules pubescent, cylindric, usually slightly arcuate, 2.5-4 cm long, 3-4 mm broad; pedicels absent or to 5 mm long; seeds brownish, angulate, 1.2-1.4 mm long, ca. 0.8 mm broad, pitted."[2]

Distribution

O. laciniata ranges from Maine to North Dakota, then south to southern Florida and Texas. There are also populations in California.[1]

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, O. laciniata occurs in shrub bogs, pine flatwoods, and pine savannas. It is observed to be a ruderal species and has been found in disturbed areas such as sandy vacant lots, moist roadsides, fallow fields, and railroad beds. Soil types include sandy loam, loam, and loamy sand. Associated species include Drosera, Calopogon, Briza, and Cerastium.[3] It is a common weed found in soybean, corn, and cotton crops in the southeastern U.S.[4] It has become an invasive species in central and south America, Europe, Africa, and Australia.[5]

Phenology

O. laciniata flowers from January through July with peak inflorescence in April and fruiting from January through June.[3][6] Flowers typically bloom at night.[7]

Seed dispersal

The fruits are dehiscent.[5]

Seed bank and germination

Seeds can remain viable in the soil for decades.[8]

Fire ecology

It has been observed growing in annually burned pine savannas.[3]

Herbivory and toxicology

Oenothera laciniata has been observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host wasps from the Vespidae family such as Polistes dorsalis hunteri.[9] Additionally, O. laciniata has been observed to host Aphids such as Aphis sp. (family Aphididae), ladybugs such as Coccinella septempunctata (family Coccinellidae), plant bugs from the family Miridae such as Lopidea sp., Lygus lineolaris and Pseudatomoscelis seriatus.[10]

Seeds are eaten by bobwhite quail, morning doves, and American goldfinches. Cottontail rabbits and white-tailed deer browse on the foliage.[7]

Diseases and parasites

It is a host for clouded and tarnished plant bugs that are common pests of cotton.[11]

Conservation, cultivation, and restoration

It is a noxious weed in soybean, cotton, and corn crops in the southeastern U.S.[4] In a reduced-tillage system, it may be difficult to control when timely applications are not made.[12] This species' small size and slow growth make February and early March herbicide applications most effective.[13]

Cultural use

Evening-Primroses can be used as a potherb for their asparagus-like quality of greens, and Native Americans would use the pith to make soup. In England, there was a problem of using the leaves as a tea filler.[14] Historically, it was used by Cherokee Indians to make body wash.[15]
