Ecology
Habitat
R. hirta proliferates in fields and roadsides. [1] Specimens have been collected from loamy sands at edge od woodland, open woodland, moist roadsides, dry pine woods and fields, moist sandy peat of savannah, longleaf pine wiregrass savanna, saw palmetto flats, old fields, holding ponds, red clay soils, cedar glade, edge of rivers, wet boggy sites, prairie, mixed woods, creek bottoms, slash pine plantation, and other disturbed wet regions. [3]
Phenology
R. hirta flowers all months of the year excluding December-February. [4]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity. [5]
Fire ecology
R. hirta is not fire resistant, but has medium fire tolerance. [2]
Use by animals
Bees have been observed visiting this species. [6]
