Taxonomic notes

Synonym: Gerardia pectinata

Description

A. pectinata has opposite, fern like leaves which are pinnately incised, with sticky glandular hairs [1]. It is a hemiparasitic plant that attaches modified roots to the roots of host plants, such as oaks [2].

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

A. pectinata can occur in turkey oak sandhills, longleaf pine communities, upland hardwood forests, savannas, glades, stream banks and slash pineland [3] [1] (FSU Herbarium).

Associated species include Pinus elliottii, Serenoa repens, Quercus geminata, Q. myrtifolia, Q. chapmanii, Liatris elegans, L. tenuifolia, and Salvia azurea (UF Herbarium).

Phenology

A. pectinata has bisexual, yellow flowers that bloom spring, summer, and fall. The ovary is superior and fruits in a capsule summer and fall [1]. The flower buds have a reddish tip, while the calyx is densely hairy [2].

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

Studies have observed that A. pectinata does not occur in unburned sites, but does occur in burned sites (Harrod et al. 2000; Kush et al. 2000). Kush et al. (2000) found that A. pectinata occurred in biennially burned longleaf pine stands regardless of burning season. In Harrod et al. (2000) it was observed growing in a burned xeric hardwood site.

Pollination

Hummingbirds and bumblebees pollinate Aureolaria pectinata [2].

Use by animals

It is the larval host plant for the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas phaeton)[2].

Diseases and parasites

Conservation and Management

Conservation status: Global: G5 [4].
