Taxonomic Notes
Description
Proserpinaca pectinata is a dioecious perennial that grows as a forb/herb.[2] Flowers are red, orange, and green in color.[3]
Distribution
This species occurs from Nova Scotia, south to southern Florida, and westward to western Louisiana. While it is primarily found along the coastal plain, it occurs inland, as far as Tennessee.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
P. pectinata occurs in bogs, savannas, ditches, and other wet places.[1] Along New York pond shorelines, this species is found on areas of organic exposed pond bottoms and permanently flooded zones.[4] In New Jersey pinelands, Proserpinaca pectinata occurred in 20% of ponds.[5]
Phenology
In the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, flowering has been observed from June through October.[1][6]
