Description
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Viola palmata was found to be extremely vulnerable to disturbance. It occurred in greater abundance in natural longleaf stands than planted longleaf stands (Kirkman et al 2004). It can be found in longleaf pine-wiregrass savanna communities (Kirkman et al 2004).
Phenology
It is a summer forb (Kirkman et al 2004).
Seed dispersal
It is a myrmecochorous (ant-dispersed) species (Kirkman et al 2004). However, it can also be dispersed explosively (Kirkman et al 2004).
