Description

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

Areas P. pilosa can be found include limestone glades, edge of pine-oak woodlands, pine/hardwood areas, semi-boggy slopes of longleaf pine savanna, burned upland longleaf pinelands and in mesic shaded woodlands by streamlet (FSU Herbarium).

P. pilosa has been found to grow along highways and the remnants of slightly disturbed woodland habitats (FSU Herbarium).

Phenology

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

P. pilosa shows delayed flowering in response to early-season burning (Pavlovic et al. 2011).
