Description
M sessilifolia is an annual forb/herb of the Loganiaceae family native to North America. [1]
Distribution
M. sessilifolia is found along the southeastern coast of the United States from New Mexico to Virginia. [1]
Ecology
Habitat
M. sessilifolia is found in wet savannas, pocosins, ditches, and margins of limesink depressions (dolines). [2] Specimens have been collected from moist loamy sand, wet ditches, oak woods, pine flatwoods, border of swampy woodland, longleaf pine wiregrass, savanna, sandy peat of slash pine, floodplain marsh, shore of sinkhole pond, wet pineland, frequently burned hillside of seepage bogs, pine-gum woodland, and along streams.[3] M. sessilifolia responds negatively or not at all to soil disturbance by roller chopping in South Florida.[4]
Mitreola sessilifolia is an indicator species for the Calcareous Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[5]
Phenology
M. sessilifloria has been observed flowering in June, July, and September. [6]
