Description

A description of Agrimonia microcarpa is provided in The Flora of North America.

Agrimonia microcarpa has been recognized as a distinct species or as a variety of Agrimonia pubescens.[2] Both taxa share the same types of distribution of hairs, have flowers alternate on the inflorescence rachis and tuberous roots.[3]

Distribution

It occurs within the mid to southeastern coastal region of the United States – and some adjacent areas. [4] [3]

In Florida, it is found in the northern panhandle and down to the central peninsula.[5]

Ecology

Habitat

Agrimonia microcarpa is found frequently in mesic sites of open deciduous and mixed woods,[3][6][5] limestone bluffs, wooded slopes around sinkholes, shallow wooded ravines, and along the sparsely wooded ecotone borders of limestone glades.[7] Disturbed habitats include old roadways and clear-cut forests. It generally prefers shady to partially shady sites with moist sandy loam soil. In Alachua County, FL, it was observed in moist upland hardwood forests, slope forests, and creek floodplains.[8]

Associated species include Fimbristylis, Sabatia, Asclepias verticillata, Ratibida pinnata, Quercus laevis, Pinus palustris, and others.[7]

Phenology

Agrimonia microcarpa has been observed flowering in April and from late July to September.[9][3] Fruiting observed July through November.[10]
