Description
A description of Erigeron strigosus is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Generally, E. strigosus can be found across the United States and Canada in all provinces except the northern provinces, and all states but Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain, E. strigosus can occur in upland old fields, sandy floodplains, turkey oak forests, lake shores, sandhill scrub oak-wiregrass communities, open oak woods, boggy slopes of longleaf pine savannas, and open limestone glades. In human disturbed areas it has been found along sandy roadsides, vacant lots, a disturbed sandhill growing with planted Pinus palustris and disturbed longleaf pine restoration sites. [2] Soils include sand, sandy clay, loamy sand and sandy loam. [2] Associated species include Liatris, Panicum, Leptoloma cognata, Baptisia megacarpa, Festuca, Piptochaetium, Verbena, Pinus palustris, Hymenopappus scabiosaeus, Phlox floridana, Stillingia sylvatica, Asimina longifolia var. spathulata, Lactuca graminifolia, Stylosanthes biflora, Erigeron strigosa, Baptisia lanceolata, Hedyotis crassifolia, Pterocauloon undulatum, Asclepias humistrata, Quercus hemisphaerica, Rhynchospora divergens, and Allium canadense. [2]
Phenology
E. strigosus has been observed flowering in February through October with peak inflorescence in May.[3][2]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by wind. [4]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Erigeron strigosus at Archbold Biological Station. [5]
Halictidae: Agapostemon splendens, Augochlorella aurata, Halictus poeyi, Lasioglossum placidensis
