Description

Common Name: fringed yellow star-grass

Hypoxis juncea is a perennial herbaceous species.

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

It is a dry flatwoods/ sandhill species.[1]

Phenology

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

H. juncea appeared to have benefited from high fire frequencies in a study in 2003.[1] Observed H. juncea respouting at least 10 days after a fire that occurred in June of 1993.[2]

Pollination

Mark Deyrup at Archbold Biological Station observed these Hymenoptera species on Hypoxis juncea

Halictidae: Augochlorella gratiosa

Halictidae: Lasioglossum nymphalis

Use by animals

Deyrup observed this bee, Dialictus nymnphalis, on H. juncea.[3] “…Hypoxis is one of the most important plants for quail, which occurred (resprouted) in the ranking only the first 1 or 2 months after fire.[4]

Diseases and parasites

Conservation and Management

Cultivation and restoration
