Contents
Description
C. highlandsensis is a perennial species with a short taproot and a basal rosette that shoots up a lanate flowering stem [1].
Distribution
It is endemic to central peninsular Florida (Weakley 2015).
Ecology
Habitat
C. highlandsensis is endemic to the Lake Wales Ridge and is found in sandpine scrubs, scrubby flatwoods, and turkey oak/longleaf communities[1][2]. It has been found in historically and chronically disturbed habitats [2] and has observed to have a high survival rate after hurricanes (Menges et al. 2011). Associated species include Lechea cernua, Polygonella basiramia, Selaginella arenicola, and Liatris tenuifolia[2].
Phenology
It is a semelparous species, usually flowering the third year of life. Yellow composite flowers appear November and December [1].
Seed dispersal
The fruit is a composite achene with a pappus modified for wind dispersal [1].
Seed bank and germination
It has been found to divide by rhizomes, tubers, corms, and bulbs [3]. It has been observed to produce a limited persistent soil seed bank [1].
Conservation and Management
Global Conservation Status: G2 [4].
