Natural range of Stylisma humistrata from USDA NRCS Plants Database.

Description

Distribution

Found in the Coastal Plains of southwestern Georgia (Baker County) (Kirkman et al 2004).

Ecology

Habitat

It can be found in subxeric and xeric areas in longleaf pine and oak communities (Carter et al 2004).

Phenology

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Jayasuriya and his team found out that water uptake by manually scarified seeds was about 30 times greater than water uptake by non-treated seeds (2008)! This shows that S. humistrata exhibits physical seed dormancy. It does not require light for germination (Jayasuriya 2008).

Fire ecology

Pollination

Use by animals

Diseases and parasites

Conservation and Management

Cultivation and restoration
