Description
A. pectinata has opposite, fern like leaves which are pinnately incised, with sticky glandular hairs [1]. It is a hemiparasitic plant that attaches modified roots to the roots of host plants, such as oaks [2].
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
A. pectinata can occur in turkey oak sandhills, longleaf pine communities, upland hardwood forests, savannas, glades, stream banks and slash pineland [3] [1] (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
A. pectinata has bisexual, yellow flowers that bloom spring, summer, and fall. The ovary is superior and fruits in a capsule summer and fall [1]. The flower buds have a reddish tip, while the calyx is densely hairy [2].
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
Studies have observed that A. pectinata does not occur in unburned sites, but does occur in burned sites (Harrod et al. 2000; Kush et al. 2000). Kush et al. (2000) found that A. pectinata occurred in biennially burned longleaf pine stands regardless of burning season. In Harrod et al. (2000) it was observed growing in a burned xeric hardwood site.
