Taxonomic Notes
Synonym: Carphephorus paniculatus (J.F. Gmelin) Herbert.[3]
Description
T. paniculata is a dioecious perennial forb/herb.[2]
Distribution
This species occurs from southeastern North Carolina, south to southern Florida, and westward to the Florida panhandle and southern Alabama.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
T. paniculata occurs in savannas, bogs, oak-pine woods, and flatwoods.[1][4][5] It is also found in disturbed areas like roadsides.[6]
Phenology
In the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, flowering occurs from August through October and fruiting from September through November.[1]
Fire ecology
In Georgia cut over pine forests, percent coverage of T. paniculata decreases with the number of growing seasons since fire, from 0.8 after one season, to 0.2 after two and three seasons, and 0.1 after eight.[7] On the Wade Tract south Georgia, populations of Trilisa paniculata have been known to persist through repeated annual burns.[8]
Pollination and use by animals
T. paniculata have been found in the stomachs of white-tailed deer in central peninsular Florida.[9]
