Taxonomic Notes
Varieties: Vaccinium stamineum Linnaeus var. 1; Vaccinium stamineum Linnaeus var. 2; Vaccinium stamineum Linnaeus var. caesium (Greene) D.B. Ward; Vaccinium stamineum Linnaeus var. sericeum (C. Mohr) D.B. Ward; Vaccinium stamineum Linnaeus var. stamineum.[2]
Description
V. stamineum is a perennial shrub of the Ericaceae family native to North America and Canada.[3]
Distribution
V. stamineum is found in the southeastern corner of the United States from Texas to Maine, as well as the Ontario region of Canada.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
V. stamineum proliferates in pinelands, xeric to submesic woodlands and forests, including pineoak/heath and shrub balds, pine flatwoods, and rock outcrops (unlike most species in Vaccinium, often on mafic, ultramafic, or calcareous rocks).[1] Specimens have been collected from planted pine in sand ridge, drying loamy sands, old field, slash pine scrub oak, longleaf pineland, mesic hammock, mixed hardwood forest, floodplain, hardwood hammock, and recently burned pineland.[4] V. stamineum responds negatively to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plain communities. This marks it as a possible indicator species for remnant woodland.[5][6] When exposed to soil disturbance by military training in West Georgia, V. stamineum responds negatively by way of absence.[7]
Vaccinium stamineum var. stamineum is an indicator species for the Clayhill Longleaf Woodlands community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[8]
Phenology
V. stamineum has been observed to flower February through May and in July.[9]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by consumption by vertebrates.[10]
Fire ecology
V. stamineum is not fire resistant but readily resprouts following fire[3] and is common in native pine communities treated with frequent fire.[11][12]
Use by animals
V. stamineum has medium palatability for browsing and grazing animals.[3]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
V. stamineum is listed as endangered by the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife Nongame and Natural Heritage Program.[3]
