Description
R. globularis is a annual/perennial graminoid of the Cyperaceae family that is native to North America.[1]
Distribution
Found largely throughout the southeastern United States, R. globularis is specifically in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, as well as in the western state California. [1]
Ecology
Habitat
Sandy depressions, wet ditches, powerline corridors, and savannas are common habitats for R. globulairs.[2]
Phenology
Flowering often occurs during the spring and summer months; largely in May and June producing the most blooms. [3]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by consumption by vertebrates. [4]
Conservation and Management
R. globularis is classified as endangered in Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, and is of special concern in Kentucky. [1]
