Description
Common Name: Maryland goldenaster
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It can live in humid and mild climates with plenty of rainfall throughout the year. It can tolerate temperatures ranging from 3 to 33 degrees Celsius. It is found in abundance in longleaf pine communities.[1]. Chrysopsis mariana is restricted to native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia (Ostertag and Robertson 2007).
Phenology
It flowers in the fall.[2]
Seed dispersal
It is dispersed by the wind.[2]
