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.[1] Both taxa share the same types of distribution of hairs, have flowers alternate on the inflorescence rachis and tuberous roots.[2]
Distribution
It occurs within the mid to southeastern coastal region of the United States – and some adjacent areas. [3] [2]
In Florida, it is found in the northern peninsula and down to the central panhandle (Wunderlin and Hansen 2003).
Ecology
Habitat
Agrimonia microcarpa is found frequently in mesic sites of open deciduous and mixed woods[2][4][5], limestone bluffs, wooded slopes around sinkholes, shallow wooded ravines, and along the sparsely wooded ecotone borders of limestone glades[6]. Disturbed habitats include old roadways and clear-cut forests. It generally prefers shady to partially shady sites with moist sandy loam soil.
Associated species includes Fimbristylis, Sabatia, Asclepias verticillata, Ratibida pinnata, Quercus laevis, Pinus palustris, and others[6].
Phenology
Flowering from late July to September.[2] Fruiting observed July through November (FSU Herbarium).
