Description
Perennial herb with erect, hairless stems 20 - 40 inches (50 - 100 cm) tall. Leaves with long leaf stalks, each leaf divided into several, leathery, lance-shaped, coarsely toothed leaflets. Flower clusters flat-topped, composed of 5 - 12 smaller clusters of tiny, white flowers; flower stalks hairless. Flowers with 5 white, spreading petals. Fruit about ¼ inch (5 - 6 mm) long, hairless, oval, flattened, ribbed, and winged[1].
Distribution
It is found in southwest and south-central Georgia and in the eastern part of the panhandle of Florida[2].
Ecology
Habitat
A. dentata is restricted to native groundcover and is commonly associated with upland pinelands of South Georgia[3]. Habitats include sandhills, longleaf pine-wiregrass savannas, longleaf-scrub oaks, boggy areas, and pine flatwoods. It occurs in disturbed areas such as roadsides and logged fields. Thrives in areas that are open or semi-shaded. Soils include dry sand, gravelly soil, loamy sand and dry and moist loamy soil[4][2].Associated species include Croton, Pinus palustris, Quercus laevis, Q. margaretta, Rhynchosia, Symphyotrichum dumosum, Carphephorus odoratissiumus, C. paniculatus, Chrysopsis spp., and Symphiotrichum dumosum[4].
Phenology
Flowers are arranged in umbels and are compound and bisexual[5]. Flowers June through December[4].
Seed dispersal
Seeds are dispersed by gravity and small animals[1].
Fire ecology
It can be found in frequently burned areas such as longleaf pine savannas[4].
Pollination
Pollinated by wasps, flies, beetles and bees[1].
Conservation and Management
Threats include conversion of habitat to pine plantations, agriculture, pastures, development and fire suppression[1]
