Taxonomic Notes
Synonyms: Chondrophora nudata (Michaux) Britton
Varieties: Bigelowia nudata (Michaux) A.P. de Candolle var. australis (L.C. Anderson) Shinners, Bigelowia nudata (Michaux) A.P. de Candolle var. nudata
Description
B. nudata, also known as the pineland rayless goldenrod, is a native perennial forb that is a member of the Asteraceae family.[1] Leaves alternate, oblanceolate shape, and entire margins. Flowers yellow, achene fruit type, and fibrous roots.[2]
Distribution
B. nudata is found in the Southeast United States, ranging from Texas to North Carolina.[1] However, it is most frequent along the coast lines of lower Mississippi to North Carolina. When the species is split into the subspecies nudata and australis, nudata is widespread from North Carolina to Louisiana while australis is restricted to peninsular Florida.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
B. nudata can be found in moist sandy loams of savannahs, pine barrens, and margins of swamps as well as rich sandy soils in wet prairies and open pinelands.[3] It is a wide-ranging species, mainly occurring in wet to mesic habitats.[4][5] It can be found in disturbed sites such as front lawns and roadsides, while native habitats range from white-top pitcher plant prairies, wet pine flatwoods and cypress depressions, marsh edges, sandy scrub, dry sandy loams, and other moist areas.[6] It is considered an indicator species for the peninsular savanna community in Florida.[7]
Associated species: Linum macrocarpum, Lophiola aurea, Sarracenia alata, Lachnocaulon digynum, Magnolia virginiana, Scleria baldwinii, and Syngonanthus flavidulus[8][9]
Phenology
It flowers twice a year, in the spring as well as the fall ranging from October to May.[3] B. nudata has been observed to flower in January as well as June through November with peak inflorescence in July and September.[10]
Seed bank and germination
Besides seed germination, B. nudata is known to propagate and germinate through rhizomes.[3]
Fire ecology
B. nudata seems to respond positively to fire, due to seen increase in flowering after multiple burns over time have been conducted.[11]
