Taxonomic notes
Description
A description of Garberia heterophylla is provided in The Flora of North America.
G. heterophylla is a perennial species that reaches a height of 4 to 8 feet. The obovate leaves are alternately on the vertical stem [1].
Distribution
It is native to Florida[1].
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, G. heterophylla occurs in sand pine-oak scrub ridges (FSU Herbarium). Associated species includes Quercus virginiana and Pinus clausa (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Fruits November through December and flowers October through December (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
Seeds are dispersed by wind (Carrington 1999).
Seed bank and germination
Smoke does not stimulate germination (Lindon and Menges 2008).
Fire ecology
Carrington (1999) found G. heterophylla to be a strong resprouter post-fire, with a high percentage of individuals flowering. This study also found seedlings were established between 4 to 16 months post fire. This contradicts Weekley and Menges (2003), who found that survival was lower for burned individuals than for unburned individuals, suggesting G. heterophylla was a weak resprouter.
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Garberia heterophylla at Archbold Biological Station (Deyrup 2015):
Apidae: Bombus impatiens, Epeolus carolinus
Colletidae: Colletes mandibularis
Halictidae: Agapostemon splendens, Augochlora pura, Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis metallica, Lasioglossum miniatulus, L. nymphalis, L. placidensis, Sphecodes heraclei
Megachilidae: Anthidiellum notatum rufomaculatum, Coelioxys sayi, Megachile albitarsis, M. mendica, M. pruina, M. xylocopoides
Sphecidae: Cerceris flavofasciata floridensis, Eremnophila aureonotata
Vespidae: Monobia quadridens, Pachodynerus erynnis, Stenodynerus fundatiformis, Zethus slossonae, Zethus spinipes
