Description
F. squarrosa is a native perennial graminoid that is a member of the Cyperaceae family [1].
Distribution
The species can be found in the Southeast United States, ranging from Texas to Virginia, as well as in the Northeast in Maryland, New Jersey, and New York [1].
Ecology
Habitat
F. squarrosa can be found in mesic communities, including sphagnous bogs [2].
Associated species - Eleocharis tuberculosa, Gentiana saponaria, Bartonia paniculata, Platanthera cristata, Pyrus arbutifolia, and Viburnum nudum [2].
Fire ecology
Sphagnous bogs and other similar communities are fire dependent due to their high acidity, which makes F. squarrosa dependent on fire frequency [3].
