Description
A description of Gaylussacia dumosa is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Gaylussacia dumosa is restricted to native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia. [1]
Seed dispersal
According to Kay Kirkman, a plant ecologist, this species disperses by being consumed by vertebrates (being assumed). [2]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Gaylussacia dumosa at Archbold Biological Station (Deyrup 2015):
Apidae: Apis mellifera, Bombus impatiens
Halictidae: Augochlorella aurata, A. gratiosa
Megachilidae: Megachile brevis pseudobrevis, M. integrella
