Description
M sessilifolia is an annual forb/herb of the Loganiaceae family native to North America.[1] It's leaves are sessile, rounded at the base, and 1.5-2x as long as wide. Mature seeds are smooth and the capsule is papillose-warty.[3]
Distribution
M. sessifolia ranges from southeast Virginia to Florida and west to east Texas. It's also found in the Bahamas.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
M. sessilifolia is found in wet savannas, pocosins, ditches, and margins of limesink depressions (dolines).[2] Specimens have been collected from moist loamy sand, wet ditches, oak woods, pine flatwoods, border of swampy woodlands, longleaf pine wiregrass, savannas, sandy peat of slash pines, floodplain marshes, sinkhole pondshores, wet pinelands, frequently-burned hillsides of seepage bogs, pine-gum woodlands, and along streams.[4]
M. sessilifolia decreased its occurrence or was unaffected in response to soil disturbance by roller chopping in south Florida. It either exhibited regrowth or was unaffected by reestablished native habitat that was disturbed by this practice.[5]
Mitreola sessilifolia is an indicator species for the Calcareous Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[6]
Phenology
M. sessilifloria flowers from late June to August and fruits from September through October.[3]
Fire ecology
Populations of Mitreola sessilifolia have been known to persist through repeated annual burning.[7]
