Description
B. nudata, also known as the pineland rayless goldenrod, is a native perennial forb that is a member of the Asteraceae family [1]. The species also consists of rhizomes which it uses to propogate [2].
Distribution
B. nudata is found in the Southeast United States, ranging from Texas to North Carolina [1]. However, it is most frequent along the coast lines of lower Mississippi to North Carolina [2].
Ecology
Habitat
B. nudata can be found in moist sandy loams of savannahs, pine barrens, and margins of swamps as well as rich sandy soils in wet prairies and open pinelands [2]. It is a wide-ranging species, mainly occurring in wet to mesic habitats [3]. It can be found in disturbed sites such as front lawns and roadsides, while native habitats range from white-top pitcher plant prairies, wet pine flatwoods and cypress depressions, marsh edges, sandy scrub, dry sandy loams, and other moist areas. [4]
Associated species - Linum macrocarpum C. M. Rogers, Lophiola aurea Ker Gawl., Sarracenia alata Alph. Wood, Lachnocaulon digynum Koern., Magnolia virginiana L., and Scleria baldwinii (Torr.) Steud. [5].
Phenology
It flowers twice a year, in the spring as well as the fall ranging from October to May [2].
Fire ecology
B. nudata seems to respond positively to fire, due to seen increase in flowering after multiple burns over time have been conducted. [6]
