Description
R. odorata is a perennial graminoid of the Cyperaceae family that is native to North America.[2]
Distribution
R. odorata is commonly found in the southeastern United States; specifically Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, and Louisiana.[2]
Ecology
Habitat
R. odorata proliferates in maritime swamp forests and maritime wet grasslands.[1] Specimens have been collected from dry sands, burned palmetto slashpine flatwoods, brackish marsh, moist roadside, willow thicket, pineland, swampy woodland, pine flatwoods, sand loam in hammock, mesic flatwoods, and in coastal hammock.[3]
Fire ecology
Populations of Rhynchospora odorata have been known to persist through repeated annual burning.[4]
