Description

Common Name: pineland wild indigo

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

B. lecontei requires open areas and strong, consistent winds for seed dispersal.It is found in sandhill communities.[1]

Phenology

Seed dispersal

Baptisia lecontei uses tumbleweed dispersal, a type of long-distance dispersal mechanism by which means the whole or a part of the plant serves to disperse seeds by being blown into the wind.[2] Mehlman observe that B. lecontei could be found over 50 meters away from where it originated, evidently by wind dispersal [1]
