Taxonomic notes
Synonyms: Kuhnia eupatorioides Linnaeus; Kuhnia eupatorioides Linnaeus var. eupatorioides; Kuhnia eupatorioides Linnaeus var. pyramidalis Rafinesque.[1]
Varieties: Brickellia eupatorioides (Linnaeus) Shinners var. corymbulosa (Torrey & Grey) Shinners; Brickellia eupatorioides (Linnaeus) Shinners var. eupatorioides.[1]
Description
A description of Brickellia eupatorioides is provided in The Flora of North America.
Brickellia eupatorioides var. corymbulosa is a perennial that has been documented to be variable in habit, from erect and subvirgatte to decumbent, spreading or distinctly prostrate, arising from a slender deep-seated rootstock. [2][3]
Distribution
Ecology
Mycorrhizal relationships seemed to yield significantly higher phosphorous levels.[4]
Habitat
Brickellia eupatorioides is common in grassland communities[5], and is especially dominant in the tallgrass prairie.[6] In addition, this species occurs in pine-oak woodlands, open pinewoods, limestone glades, sandhills, longleaf pine-wiregrass communities, and hardwood hammocks. The plant has also been known to grow in disturbed areas including railways, roadside embankments, and open fields. B. eupatorioides appears in a range of light conditions, from semi-shade to full sun, and it prefers rocky or sandy soils. In Florida, it has been found in drying or moist loamy sand; in New Mexico, gravelly sand; in Texas, clay loam; and in Kansas, dry rocky soil.[7][2]
Associated species include Symphyotrichum concolor, Aster linariifolius, Aster phyllolepis, Campanula americana, Ageratina aromatica, Liatris gracilis, and others. [2]
Phenology
B. eupatorioides has been observed to flower July through November, and fruits in October.[2][8]
Seed dispersal
Achenes are long and cylindrical and have a tuft of white hair on top to aid in wind distribution. [9] This species is thought to be dispersed by wind. [10]
Seed bank and germination
It germinates well at 18-22 degrees Celsius.[4]
Fire ecology
Brickellia eupatorioides is fire tolerant[5] and populations are known to persist through repeated annual burns.[11] One study found B. eupatorioides to increase with frequency over time with summer burns.[12]
Pollination and use by animals
Brickellia eupatorioides is pollinated by bumblebees, Halictid bees, and leaf cutting bees (Megachile spp.).[9] One study recorded Coelioxys octodentata pollinating B. eupatorioides.[13] The caterpillars of Schinia trifascia (three-lined flower moth), Schinia oleagina (Oleagina flower moth), and Schinia grandimedia (false boneset flower moth) feed destructively on the flowerheads and developing seeds.[9] Other insect feeders include Lygus lineolaris, Aphis coreopsidis, Dichagyris grotei, Melanoplus confusus (little pasture grasshopper), Melanoplus keeleri (Keeler's grasshopper), and Melanoplus discolor (contrasting spur-throated grasshopper). Entylia carinata (family Membracidae) has also be observed on this species.[14]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
It is listed as threatened by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy.[3] Preference is full sun and dry conditions, although it can tolerate a little shade. Prefers poor soil that is made up of mostly clay, sand, or gravel. [9]
