Description
A description of Brickellia eupatorioides is provided in The Flora of North America.
Variety corymbulosa has been documented to be variable in habit, from erect and subvirgatte to decumbent, spreading or distinctly prostrate, arising from a slender deep-seated rootstock (FSU Herbarium).
This species is perennial.
Distribution
Ecology
Mycorrhizal relationships seemed to yield significantly higher phosphorous levels.[1]
Habitat
It is common in grassland communities.[2] It is especially dominant in the tallgrass prairie.[3] It is also found in loblolly pine communities.[4]
In addition, this species occurs in pine-oak woodlands, open pinewoods, limestone glades, sandhills, longleaf pine-wiregrass communities, and hardwood hammocks (FSU Herbarium). It can also grow in disturbed areas including railways, roadside embankments, and open fields (FSU Herbarium). B. eupatorioides appears in a range of light conditions, from semi-shade to full sun, and it prefers rocky or sandy soils (FSU Herbarium). In Florida, it has been found in drying or moist loamy sand; in New Mexico, gravelly sand; in Texas, clay loam; and in Kansas, dry rocky soil (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
B. eupatorioides has been observed flowering in July through November, and fruiting in October (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
It germinates well at 18-22 degrees Celsius.[1]
Fire ecology
It is fire tolerant.[2]
Pollination
Use by animals
Diseases and parasites
