In the Coastal Plain, ''S. setacea'' habitats include shrubless barrens, sandhill clearings in oak woodlands, sand pine-oak scrubs, longleaf pine-saw palmetto flatwoods, edge of cypress wetlands, oak-hickory hammock forests, open oak-hickory-sand pine scrubs, an open slash pine woodland bordering a tidal marsh, and ''Quercus geminata'' woods. It has been found in disturbed areas such as powerline corridors, grassy roadsides, sandy old fields, parking areas, moist banks of drainage canals, and a pineapple field (FSU Herbarium). Soil types include loamy sand, sand, and sandy peat (FSU Herbarium).

Taxonomic notes

The genus name Stipulicida derives from the Greek meaning for fibers. The specific epithet setacea comes from the Latin word for bristle- which refers to the tiny leaves that resemble bristles[1].

Description

A description of Stipulicida setacea is provided in The Flora of North America.

S. setacea has white flowers, usually in clusters of three; with five petals, three stamen, and three lobed ovaries (FSU Herbarium).

Distribution

Found along the Coastal Plain from Virginia down to Florida and west to Louisiana. It is critically imperiled in Virginia and Louisiana[2].

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain, S. setacea habitats include shrubless barrens, sandhill clearings in oak woodlands, sand pine-oak scrubs, longleaf pine-saw palmetto flatwoods, surrounding cypress wetlands, oak-hickory hammock forests, open oak-hickory-sand pine scrubs, and slash pine woodlands bordering tidal marshes. It occurs in disturbed areas such as powerline corridors, grassy roadsides, sandy old fields, parking areas, moist banks of drainage canals, and a pineapple field. Soil types include loamy sand, sand, and sandy peat. Associated species include Lupinus diffusus, Arenaria caroliniana, Opuntia, Parnoychia erecta, Polygonella robusta, Helianthemum, Vaccinium, and Crataegus[3].

Phenology

Flowers March through June and fruits May through August (FSU Herbarium).

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

Stipulicida setacea has been observed growing in burned pinewoods (FSU Herbarium).
