Description
A description of Eupatorium mohrii is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It does well in open canopy areas on longleaf pine habitats. Does not do well in highly disturbed areas (such as clear cutting)[1] It is found areas that have become wet in some parts of the year such as in slash pine flatwoods, hammocks, near creeks, pond-pine scrubs, peaty pine savannas, wet flatwwods, swampy depressions between sand ridges, pine-palmetto flatwoods, upper edges of hilldside bogs, edges of titi bogs, swales and dunes, and in river floodplains (FSU Herbarium). It is also found in human disturbed areas such as pinelands that have been clear cut, along roadside depressions, embankments, edges of an artificial pond, and in powerline corridors (FSU Herbarium). It is associated with areas that have moist soil, moist sandy peaty soil, semi-wet soil, muckly aulluvium soils, and moist sandy clay (FSU Herbarium).
Associated species include Eupatorium rotundifolium, E. album, E. cuneifolium, E. leucolepis, E. recurvans, E. mikaniodes, Andropogon, Aster dumosus, Ludwigia virgata, Carex joorii, Panicum rigidulum, Rhexia mariana, Rubus cuneifolius, Magnolia virginina, Pinus palutris, P. elliottii, P. taeda, Serenoa repens, Aristida stricta, Quercus, Liquidambar styraciflua, Cyrilla racemiflora (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Native, perennial herb in longleaf pine stands.[2] It has been observed flowering from June to October (FSU Herbarium).
