In the Coastal Plain in Florida, ''C. floridana'' has been found in turkey oak/longleaf pine sand ridges; pine-palmettos flatwoods; longleaf pine-wiregrass ridges; and scrub oak sand ridges. It is found in large populations in highly disturbed areas compared to undisturbed areas, making it unusual from other Florida endemic scrub species which are sensitive to disturbance (Mayfield 1998).

Contents
Description
C. floridana is an erect perennial herb arising from a fleshy tap root and can reach three feet in height (Gunn et al. 1980). All parts of the plant are covered with sticky hairs and leaves are alternately arranged [1]. It is a nitrogen fixer (Mayfield 1998).
Distribution
It is endemic to Florida [1].
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, C. floridana has been found in turkey oak/longleaf pine sand ridges; pine-palmettos flatwoods; longleaf pine-wiregrass ridges; and scrub oak sand ridges. It is found in large populations in highly disturbed areas compared to undisturbed areas, making it unusual from other Florida endemic scrub species which are sensitive to disturbance (Mayfield 1998). Populations have been found in disturbed areas such as heavily cattle grazed longleaf pine-saw palmetto flatwoods, roadsides, and pastures (FSU Herbarium; Mayfield 1998).
Phenology
Flowers are yellow and orange and are composed of three petals [1]. It flowers May through June and fruits in May (FSU Herbarium).
Fire ecology
Carrington (1999) found C. floridana to be a strong re-sprouter after fire, however it did not show a strong flowering response. Seedlings were only present for five months post-fire, suggesting a weak seedling establishment after fire (Carrington 1999). Populations have been observed to be low in undisturbed, burned areas (Mayfield 1998).
Pollination
Bombus impatiens and Augochloropsis are the major visitors to C. floridana. They have been observed ripping holes in the sides of the keel petals of the flower and vibrating their wings to get pollen out of the floral tube. Pollinators visitation rates are affected by temperature, flower size, and flowering density (Mayfield 1998).
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Chapmannia floridana at Archbold Biological Station (Deyrup 2015):
Apidae: Bombus impatiens
Halictidae: Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis metallica, Lasioglossum nymphalis, L. placidensis
Conservation and Management
Global status rank: G5 secure [2].
