Description
Common Name: fringed yellow star-grass
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It is a dry flatwoods/ sandhill species.[1]
Phenology
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
H. juncea appeared to have benefited from high fire frequencies in a study in 2003.[1] Observed H. juncea respouting at least 10 days after a fire that occurred in June of 1993.[2]
Pollination
Mark Deyrup at Archbold Biological Station observed these Hymenoptera species on Hypoxis juncea
Halictidae: Augochlorella gratiosa
Halictidae: Lasioglossum nymphalis
Use by animals
Deyrup observed this bee, Dialictus nymnphalis, on H. juncea.[3] “…Hypoxis is one of the most important plants for quail, which occurred (resprouted) in the ranking only the first 1 or 2 months after fire.[4]
