Habitat

C. ornata is endemic to the Florida peninsula and can be found in sandhills, palmetto-wiregrass scrubs, sandscrub, oak scrub, and flatwoods.[4] It is also found in disturbed areas such as sandy roadsides.[2][3]

Phenology

Flowers are pink, ephemeral, bisexual, and radially symmetrical (Lakela 1972); usually blooming late summer and early fall.[2]

Seed dispersal

In late summer and early fall the ripened seeds can be found scattered below the parent.[2]
