Natural range of Lycopus rubellus from USDA NRCS Plants Database.

Common Names: stalked bugleweed;[1] taperleaf water horehound[2]

Taxonomic Notes

Synonyms: L. velutinus Rydberg; L. angustifolius.[3]

Varieties: none.[3]

Description

Lycopus rubellus is a dioecious perennial forb/herb.[2] It produces white flowers.[4] Leaves are lance-ovate and 5-12 cm long with a sessile or short petiole. Rhizomes produce tubers at the extremities.[5]

Distribution

This species occurs from Maine, westward to Michigan, and southward to Florida and Texas.[1] Reports also exist for its occurrence in Oregon.[2]

Ecology

Habitat

L. rubellus has been found in mesic woodlands, lake shores, cypress-gum swamps, longleaf pine forests, titi-oak forests, pine flatwoods, marsh edges, sandbars, and stream banks.[6] It is also found in disturbed areas including roadsides, along railroads, and burned pine bog-flatwoods.[6] Associated species: Cyperus erythrorhizos, Juncus canadensis, Eleocharis robbinsii, Fuirena pumila, Habeneria repens, Triadenum virginicum and spp. of Ludwigia, Panicum, Rhynchospora, Decodon verticillatus, Commelina virginica, Mecardonia and Panicum gymnocarpon, Leersia and Hygrophila, and Xyris fimbriata.[6]

On Arkansas floating mats, L. rubellus composed less than 1% of the vegetative cover.[7] In Indiana, L. rubellus grows on floating logs, stumps, and at bases of living trees. It is also a characteristic species of sinkhole wetlands.[8]

Phenology

In the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, L. rubellus flowers from June through November.[1] For L. rubellus in Mississippi, flowering occurs from September through October.[9]

Seed bank and germination

After submerging seeds in a water filled jar for 130 days, speeds from L. rubellus still germinated and produced seedlings.[10] However, in South Carolina, L. rubellus is only found above or at the waterline.[11]

Pollination

The polar axis of L. rubellus pollen grains have been reported as 23.75-30.00 µm[12] and 12.0-16.8 µm.[13] This large difference between studies could be caused by geographic variation or differences in chromosome number.[12]
