Description
A description of Rhynchospora plumosa is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, R. plumosa can occur in savanna communities, pine-palmetto scrub oaks, seasonally wet depressions in open pinewoods, flatwoods, exposed sandy bottoms of lakes, seepages slopes, hillside bogs, grass-sedge bogs, shrubby borders of depression marshes, sand ridges, mangrove swamps, dry pine barrens, and drying ephemeral ponds.[2] It can also be found in power line corridors, sandy roadsides, wet borrow pits, shrub bog clearings, pine flatwood clearings, moist roadside depressions, cut-over pinewoods, cleared palmetto scrubs, bull-dozed scrublands, boat ramps, pine plantations, and clobbered pine-wiregrass flatwoods. Soils include dry sand, moist sandy peat, loamy sand, sandy loam, and white sand.[2]
R. plumosa was found in non-disturbed longleaf pine sites in the North Carolina; in contrast, the species was not found in highly disturbed sites.[3]
Rhynchospora plumosa is frequent and abundant in the Lower Panhandle Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[4] It became absent in response to soil disturbance by heavy silvilculture in North Carolina. It has shown resistance to regrowth in reestablished longleaf sites that were disturbed by these practices.[3]
Associated species include Aristida stricta, Pinus palustris, Serenoa repens, Hypericum, Stillingia, Xyris, Rhexia mariana, Dichanthelium wrightianum, Scleria georgiana, Sarracenia flava, Drosera, Sarracenia, Rhynchospora elliottii, R. corniculata, R. chapmannii, R. pusilla, R. fascicularis, R. baldwinii, R. globularis, R. wrightiana, R. fernaldii, and R. ciliaris.[2]
Phenology
This species has been observed to flower and fruit in April through December.[2][5]
Fire ecology
In longleaf pine forests of the southeastern United States, R. plumosa benefits from higher fire fequencies and is common in the second winter after after a fire.[6][7]
Herbivory and toxicology
The Henslow’s Sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii) does not prefer to eat the seeds.[7]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
R. plumosa should avoid soil disturbance by heavy silvilculture to conserve its presence in pine communities.[3]
