Description
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It can be found in mid-grass prairie communities.[1] It can also be found in longleaf pine communities, though it is not as common since they're dominated by perennial species.[2] This species has been observed in sandy and sandy loam soils of turkey oak ridges, open fields and clearings, wet borders of swamps, cabbage palm hammocks, dunes, and the ecotone between trees and shoreline of beaches (FSU Herbarium). This species also occurs in human disturbed areas such as grassy highway medians, grassy edges of parking lots, along railroad tracks, waste areas, sandy roadsides, corn fields, and citrus groves (FSU Herbarium).
Associated species includes Quercus laevis, Q. geminata, Baptisia, Selaginella, Polygonella, Commelina, Pinus palustris, Haplopappus divaricatus, Pityopsis, Palofoxia, Ambrosia, and Conyza (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
It is seasonal; it is mainly found from May to December, peaking in September in a study at Padre Island.[1] It has been observed flowering and fruiting June through October and fruiting in December (FSU Herbarium).
Seed bank and germination
It germinates after fire.[1]
Fire ecology
It is included in the flowering plant survery – post burn – in Heuberger’s study[3]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Croton glandulosus at Archbold Biological Station (Deyrup 2015):
Sphecidae: Cerceris blakei, Philanthus ventilabris
