Description
A description of Syngonanthus flavidulus is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
S. flavidulus can be found in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. It is ranked vulnerable in North Carolina and imperiled in Mississippi and South Carolina[1].
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, S. flavidulus habitats include pine-oak woodlands, wet pine flatwoods, margins of cypress wetlands, sphagnous bogs, and powerline corridors[2]. S. flavidulus grows in areas of copious ground water seepage in poorly drained soils and sandy loam. Strongly associated species include Lachnocaulon digynum, Sarracenia psittacina, and Xyris drummondii. Other associated species: Drosera capillaries, Eriocaulon decangulare, Eryngium integrifolium, and Oxypolis filiformis[3][2].
Phenology
Flowers in May (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
It has been observed growing in an annually burned longleaf pineland (FSU Herbarium).
