Is an annual and flowers in the fall (Hall 1993). Flowers summer to fall (Wunderlin and Hansen 2003).

Distribution

Infrequent in central, north, and west Florida. Found from: West to Mississippi, east to Alabama (Hall 1993).

Ecology

Habitat

It occurs primarily in well drained sands and loamy sands of pine-oak sandhill communities, sand dunes and interdune hollows (Entisols), and pine flatwoods communities (Spodosols). It requires high light. It thrives in frequently burned areas (FSU herbarium). Found in dry, scrub pinelands (Hall 1993). Found in dry pine-oak savannas, sandhills, and mesic bog margins (Wunderlin and Hansen 2003).

Phenology

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

Pollination

Use by animals

Diseases and parasites

Conservation and Management

Requires fire or other vegetation-removing disturbance to maintain high light levels and reduced competition. Does not appear to be common in areas with a great deal of soil disturbance, although it occurs along roadsides and ditches (FSU herbarium).
