Ecology
Habitat
Calcareous coastal hardwood hammock, calcareous glades, edges of limesinks, pine-oak sandhills, live oak woods, mixed deciduous forests, upland longleaf and shortleaf pine native communities, banks of hardwood forested rivers (FSU Herbarium). Occurs in a wide range of soil conditions from deep sands to clay and forest humus (FSU Herbarium). Can occurs in highly disturbed areas, particularly if sandy (FSU Herbarium). Tolerates full light to partially shaded conditions (FSU Herbarium). Apparently limited to well-drained areas even if near wetlands or water bodies (FSU Herbarium). It thrives in frequently burned areas.
Phenology
It flowers April-September and fruits April-October in Florida.
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
This species has been found in previously burned pine woods and annually burned savanna, so it is fire tolerant (FSU Herbarium).
