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
Flowering and fruiting was observed in March through June (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
This species has been found in habitat that is maintained by frequent fire (FSU Herbarium). 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
