Description
A description of Rhynchospora plumosa is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, R. plumosa can occur in savannas, open scrub oak savannas, wiregrass savannas, pine-palmetto scrub oaks, seasonally wet depressions in open pinewoods, pine flatwoods, regularly burned pine flatwoods, slash pine-wiregrass flatwoods, exposed sandy bottoms of lakes, seepages slopes, hillside bogs, grass-sedge bogs, shrubby borders of depression marshes, sand ridges, mangrove swamps, dry pine barrens, and drying ephemeral ponds.[2] It can also be found in power line corridors, sandy roadsides, wet borrow pits, shrub bog clearings, pine flatwood clearings, moist roadside depressions, cut-over pinewoods, cleared palmetto scrubs, bull-dozed scrublands, boat ramps, pine plantations, and clobbered pine-wiregrass flatwoods. Soils include dry sand, moist sandy peat, loamy sand, sandy loam, and white sand.[2]
R. plumosa was found in non-disturbed longleaf pine sites in the North Carolina; in contrast, the species was not found in highly disturbed sites.[3] It responds negatively to soil disturbance by heavy silvilculture in North Carolina.[4]
Associated species include Aristida stricta, Pinus palustris, Serenoa repens, Hypericum, Stillingia, Xyris, Rhexia mariana, Dichanthelium wrightianum, Scleria georgiana, Sarracenia flava, Drosera, Sarracenia, Rhynchospora elliottii, R. corniculata, R. chapmannii, R. pusilla, R. fascicularis, R. baldwinii, R. globularis, R. wrightiana, R. fernaldii, and R. ciliaris.[2]
Rhynchospora plumosa is frequent and abundant in the Lower Panhandle Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[5]
Phenology
Flowers and fruits April through December.[2]
Fire ecology
In longleaf pine forests of the southeastern United States, R. plumosa benefits from higher fire fequencies and is common in the second winter after after a fire.[6][7]
Use by animals
The Henslow’s Sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii) does not prefer to eat the seeds.[7]
