Description
C. pseudovegetus is a perennial praminoid of the Cyperaceae family native to North America. [1]
Distribution
C. pseudovegetus is native to the eastern United States, including New Jersey and Massachusetts, west to southern Illinois and south Missouri, south to Florida, and west to Texas and Oklahoma.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
Common habitats for the C. pseudovegetus include marshes, ditches, and other depressions with moist soils, for instance samples have been taken from pine flatwoods, edges of ponds and rivers, and other depressions that consist of moist soils.[3][4] In this habitat, a study found C. pseudovegetus to colonize an old-field succession site beginning at 5 years since agricultural abandonment, and persisting through 15 years since abandonment.[5] It is also listed as a facultative wetland species, where it commonly occurs in wetlands, but can occasionally be found in non-wetland habitats.[1] This species commonly prefers wet, open habitats with full sun.[6]
Associated species: Taxodium sp., Quercus sp., Nyssa sp., Magnolia sp., Acer rubrum, Liquidambar styraciflua, Cyperus strigosus, C. surinamensis, Carex sp., Juncus sp., Hyptis alata, Rudbeckia mohrii, and Eleocharis obtusa.[4]
Phenology
It is known to flower from July to October.[3] This flowering period is also when fruit is developed.[6]
Herbivory and toxicology
C. pseudovegetus attracts birds, and is highly deer resistant.[6]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
It is listed as rare by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and as endangered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy.[1]
