Description
Hypericum setosum is a perennial herbaceous species.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
H. setosum occurs in moist or dry loamy sand, and seems to prefer open light conditions (FSU Herbarium). It can be found in pinewoods, bordering swampy depressions, and in open wiregrass flats in longleaf pinelands (FSU Herbarium). On the other hand, this species also appears in disturbed areas, including ditches and power line corridors (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Flowering has been observed in August and September, while fruiting has been observed in September and October (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
