Description
Common name: warty panicgrass
Panicum verrucosum is an annual graminoid species (Kirkman and Sharitz 1994).
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
P. verrucosum occurs in moist to wet, sandy or loamy soils, including sandy loam, loamy sand, and sandy peat (FSU Herbarium). It can be found in pine-wiregrass savannas, wooded floodplains, pond pine-titi peat swamps, sandhills, cabbage palm-mixed hardwood hammocks, and bordering bodies of water, including Cypress-gum ponds, lakes, Hypericum bogs, and ephemeral depression marshes (FSU Herbarium). Furthermore, this species appears in some disturbed areas, including near trails and borrow pits, and in ditches, clear-cuts, and power line corridors (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Flowering and fruiting have been observed in June, September, October, and December (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
The species showed a significant increase in abundance after tilling (soil disturbance), and was abundant in seed banks (Kirkman and Sharitz 1994).
Fire ecology
P. verrucosum is found in cut-burned areas of a Chamaecyparis thyoides stand in the Great Dismal Swamp (McKinley et al. 1979).
Pollination
