Description
E. vernus is a perennial forb/herb of the Asteraceae family native to North America. [1]
Distribution
E. vernus is found along the southeastern coast of the United States from Louisiana to Virginia. [1]
Ecology
Habitat
E. vernus proliferates in wet savannas, seepages, and interdunal swales. [2] Specimens have been collected from edge of pond, dry loamy sands, wet pine flatwoods, hardwood swamp, peaty ditch, cypress swamp, prairie, hillside bog, and disturbed areas such as next to a track field and roadside ditches. [3] It has been noted that E. vernus is abundant in areas with hog rooting. [4]
Phenology
E. vernus has been observed flowering January through July and September. [5]
Fire ecology
E. vernus has been considered fire-stimulated. It largely flowers after a recent burn, particularly in pine savanna habitats. [4]
Use by animals
E. vernus has poor forage value. [6]
