Taxonomic notes

Description

A description of Syngonanthus flavidulus is provided in The Flora of North America.

Distribution

S. flavidulus can be found in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. It is ranked vulnerable in North Carolina and imperiled in Mississippi and South Carolina.[1]

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida, S. flavidulus habitats include pine-oak woodlands, wet pine flatwoods, margins of cypress wetlands, sphagnous bogs, and powerline corridors.[2] S. flavidulus grows in areas of copious ground water seepage in poorly drained soils and sandy loam. Strongly associated species include Lachnocaulon digynum, Sarracenia psittacina, and Xyris drummondii. Other associated species: Drosera capillaries, Eriocaulon decangulare, Eryngium integrifolium, and Oxypolis filiformis.[3][2] S. flavidulus responds both positively and negatively to heavy silvilculture in North Florida. [4] It responds positively to soil disturbance by clearcutting and chopping in North Florida flatwoods forests.[5]

Syngonanathus flavidulus is an indicator species for the Central Florida Flatwoods/Prairies community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[6]

Seed bank and germination

This species was found viable in the seed bank of Florida pine flatwoods communities following fire after over 30 years of fire exclusion.[7]

Fire ecology

It has been observed growing in an annually burned longleaf pineland.[2]
