Ecology
Habitat
Habitats of O. lupinellus are sandhills, sandy pine-oak woods, longleaf pine forests, slopes and upland oak-pine woods (FSU Herbarium).
Has been observed to grow on loamy sand soils (FSU Herbarium). In a study comparing N2 fixation potential in nine legume species occurring in longleaf pine-wiregrass ecosystems, O. lupinellus had the lowest potential for N2 fixation (Cathey et al. 2010).
Phenology
O. lupinellus is a perennial herb (Cathey et. al 2010) and has been documented to flower June through August (FSU Herbarium).
