Description
A description of Agrimonia microcarpa is provided in The Flora of North America. Agrimonia microcarpa has been recognized as a distinct species or as a variety of Agrimonia pubescens.[1] Both taxa share the same types of distribution of hairs, have flowers alternate on the inflorescence rachis and tuberous roots.[2]
Distribution
It occurs within the mid to southeastern coastal region of the United States – and some adjacent areas. [3] [2]
In Florida, it is found in the northern peninsula and down to the central panhandle (Wunderlin and Hansen 2003).
Ecology
Habitat
Agrimonia microcarpa is found frequently in mesic sites of open deciduous and mixed woods to 600 meters in elevation.[2] It is also found in Southern mixed hardwood forests, dry to moist woodlands, [4] and mesic hammocks (Wunderlin and Hansen 2003). This species also grows in limestone bluff habitat, wooded slopes around sinkholes, shallow wooded ravines, and along the sparsely wooded ecotone borders of limestone glades (FSU Herbarium). It generally prefers shady to partially shady sites with moist sandy loam soil (FSU Herbarium). However, Agrimonia microcarpa also occupies disturbed habitat such as old roadways and clear-cuts (FSU Herbarium).
Associated species includes Fimbristylis, Sabatia, Asclepias verticillata, Ratibida pinnata, Quercus laevis, Pinus palustris, and others (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Flowering from late July to September.[2] Fruiting observed July through November (FSU Herbarium).
