Description
Distribution
Ecology
It is a legume. By mid-season in June and July, a maximum nitrogen-fixing rate was observed.[1]
Habitat
It is tolerant of overstory canopies that decrease the light level to about half the ambient (i.e., it can live in partially shaded areas and its nitrogen-fixing capability won't be significantly affected).[1] It is found in longleaf pine-wiregrass.[1]
Phenology
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
