Description
L. spicata is a perennial forb/herb of the Asteraceae native to North America and Canada. [1]
Distribution
L. spicata is found in the southeastern corner of the United States from Arkansas to Massachusetts, as well as the Ontario and Quebec regions of Canada. [1]
Ecology
Habitat
L. spicata is found in bogs, wet longleaf pine savannas, seepages, prairies, roadsides, and grassy balds. [2] Specimens have been collected from moist loamy soils, sandy ridge, edge of cypress pond, pine flatwoods, savanna, disturbed areas such as roadside and ditches, grass-sedge bog, and hardwood hammock.[3]
Phenology
L. spicata flowers in July, September, and October. [4]
Fire ecology
L. spicata is not fire resistant, but has high fire tolerance. [1]
Use by animals
L. spicata has low palatability for browsing and grazing animals. [1]
Diseases and parasites
L. spicata is highly colonized by mycorrhizal fungi. [5]
