Carrington (1999) found ''G. heterophylla'' to be a strong resprouter post-fire, with a high percentage of individuals flowering. This study also found seedlings were established between 4 to 16 months post fire. This contradicts Weekley and Menges (2003), who found that survival was lower for burned individuals than for unburned individuals, suggesting ''G. heterophylla'' was a weak resprouter. | Carrington (1999) found ''G. heterophylla'' to be a strong resprouter post-fire, with a high percentage of individuals flowering.

Taxonomic notes
Synonyms: Garberia fruticosa (Nuttall) A. Gray.[1]
Varieties: none.[1]
Description
A description of Garberia heterophylla is provided in The Flora of North America.
G. heterophylla is a perennial species that reaches a height of 4 to 8 feet. The obovate leaves are alternately on the vertical stem.[2]
Distribution
Garberia heterophylla is endemic to central peninsular Florida to the Lake Wales Ridge area.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, G. heterophylla occurs in sand pine-oak scrub ridges. [4] Associated species includes Quercus virginiana and Pinus clausa. [4]
Phenology
Fruits November through December and flowers October through December. [4]
Seed dispersal
Seeds are dispersed by wind. [5]
Seed bank and germination
Smoke does not stimulate germination. [6]
Fire ecology
Carrington (1999) found G. heterophylla to be a strong resprouter post-fire, with a high percentage of individuals flowering. This study also found seedlings were established between 4 to 16 months post fire. This contradicts Weekley and Menges (2003), who found that survival was lower for burned individuals than for unburned individuals, suggesting G. heterophylla was a weak resprouter.
Pollination and use by animals
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Garberia heterophylla at Archbold Biological Station: [7]
Bees from the family Apidae: Bombus impatiens, Epeolus carolinus
Plasterer bees from the family Colletidae: Colletes mandibularis
Sweat bees from the family Halictidae: Agapostemon splendens, Augochlora pura, Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis metallica, Lasioglossum miniatulus, L. nymphalis, L. placidensis, Sphecodes heraclei
Leafcutting bees from the family Megachilidae: Anthidiellum notatum rufomaculatum, Coelioxys sayi, Megachile albitarsis, M. mendica, M. pruina, M. xylocopoides
Thread-waisted wasps from the family Sphecidae: Cerceris flavofasciata floridensis, Eremnophila aureonotata
Wasps from the family Vespidae: Monobia quadridens, Pachodynerus erynnis, Stenodynerus fundatiformis, Zethus slossonae, Zethus spinipes
Visited by Calycopis cecrops (red-banded hairstreak) in scrubby flatwoods along a short, relatively steep ecotone between Pinus clausa scrub and a Pinus densa savanna in northern Highlands County, Nov 28, 2016.[8]
