Description
A description of Cuthbertia ornata is provided in The Flora of North America.
C. ornata is a annual plant with linear blades and a stalk that can reach up to 12 inches high [1][2]. It can be identified by having thin, grasslike leaves along the stem and a flower scape that is held above the nearest leaves [1].
Ecology
Habitat
C. ornata is endemic to the Florida peninsula and can be found in sandhills, palmetto-wiregrass scrubs and has occurred along roads [1][2].
Phenology
Flowers are pink, ephemeral, bisexual, and radially symmetrical (Lakela 1972); usually blooming late summer and early fall [1].
Seed dispersal
In late summer and early fall the ripened seeds can be found scattered below the parent [1].
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Cuthbertia ornata at Archbold Biological Station (Deyrup 2015):
Halictidae: Augochlorella gratiosa
