Description
See NRCS Plants Database Common Name: oblongleaf snakeherb
Distribution
The Florida distribution is provided by the Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants.
Ecology
Indicator of longleaf pine woodlands; not found on pasture or cultivated lands.[1]
Habitat
D. oblongifolia appears to be restricted to soils with a sandy A horizon, whether in Entisols (sandhills) or Ultisols (clayhills) (KMR,[2]). Native undisturbed longleaf pine assosciate; found in burned and unburned areas.[3] Resides in upland and lowland areas old growth longleaf pine/wiregrass sandhill habitat.[4] A common forb in a fire-maintanied forest structure that is savanna-like with an open canopy of P. palustris.[5] It is found in pineland.[6] It is abundant in longleaf pine communities.[7] Resides in upland, midslope, and lowland areas old growth longleaf pine/wiregrass sandhill habitat.[4]. Dyschoriste oblongifolia is restricted to native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia.[2]
Phenology
D. oblongifolia germinates and flowers within a few weeks following fire at a wide range of burn dates, at least from March to July (KMR). perennial[3]
Seed dispersal
By ants.[3]
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
It resprouts after fire.[7] It flowers within two months of burning in the spring.KMRExtremely vulnerable to disturbance.[8] Was observed to resprout one month after a fire in July of 1993.[9].
Pollination
Use by animals
Diseases and parasites
Conservation and management
Cultivation and restoration
