Description
A description of Hieracium gronovii is provided in The Flora of North America. Hieracium gronovii is a perennial herbaceous species.
Distribution
Hieracium gronovii is distributed from Massachusetts west to Michigan and Kansas south to central peninsular Florida and Texas.[1] It is also native to the Canadian province of Ontario.[2]
Ecology
Habitat
Generally, H. gronovii can be found in dry forests, sandhills, roadsides, and various woodland margins.[1] It occurs in moist or dry sandy soils, from dry loamy sand to moist sandy peat, dry sand, and moist sandy loam. It also seems to prefer light conditions ranging from semi-shade to full sun. This species can occur in a range of native and disturbed habitats. Native habitat includes mixed oak-pine sandhills, pine-scrub oak-palmetto communities, longleaf pine savannas, turkey oak barrens, open mixed hardwood forests, and sandy areas bordering cypress ponds and hillside bogs. However, it can also be found in disturbed areas including roadsides, old fields, open annually mowed pineland, power line corridors, and drainage ditches.[3] This species was shown to decrease in frequency in response to the control of woody species.[4]
Associated species include Quercus margaretta, Pinus palustris, Aristida stricta, Serenoa repens, Crotalaria spectabilis, Lechea mucronata, Desmodium tortuosum, Rubus cuneifolius, Heterotheca subaxillaris, Andropogon virginicus, Paspalum notatum, Solidago altissima, and Eupatorium compositifolium.[3]
Phenology
This species generally flowers from July until November.[1] H. gronovii has been observed flowering in January, February, and July through November, and fruiting in May. [3][5]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by wind. [6]
Seed bank and germination
Several short-lived perennial forbs also have a seed bank persistent for at least several years.[7]
Fire ecology
It has been found in habitats maintained by frequent fire.[3]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Hieracium gronovii at Archbold Biological Station. [8]
Halictidae: Augochloropsis sumptuosa, Halictus poeyi, Lasioglossum coreopsis
Megachilidae: Anthidiellum perplexum
Other pollinators of Hieracium gronovii in the Hymenoptera order include Dialictus coreopsis, Halictus ligatus, Anthidium maculifrons, Megachile breuis pseudobrevis, and M. georgica, M. mendica, Ceratina dupla, C. mikmaqi, Augochlora pura, Augochlorella aurata, Agapostemon splendens, Lasioglossum bruneri, L. macoupinense, L. pectorale, L. pilosum, and Heriades variolosus.[9][10]
Use by animals
H. aculeatus consists of approximately 2-5% of the diet for various large mammals and terrestrial birds.[11] It is known to be eaten by white-tailed deer.[12]
Conservation and management
Hieracium gronovii is listed as possible extirpated by the Maine Department of Conservation, Natural Areas Program. As well, the genus Hieracium is listed as a class C noxious weed for non-native species by the state of Washington.[2] It is also imperiled in Kansas and Ontario.[13]
