Description
E. yuccifolium is a perennial forb/herb of the Apiaceae family native to North America. [1] It has grasslike parallel-veined leaves with a stout furrowed stem and the flowers borne in a dense, stout-stemmed head. [3]
Distribution
E. yuccifolium can be found along the southeastern coast of the United States from Texas to North Carolina. [1]
Ecology
Habitat
E. yuccifolium is found in wet savannas, especially those over calcareous clay soils. [2] Specimens have been collected from pine woods, prairie, sandy woodland, sandy savanna, stream bottomland with peat-loam muck, open wiregrass longleaf pine flatwoods, river banks, palmetto flatwoods, marshes, and hammocks.[4]
Phenology
E. yuccifolium flowers April-August and November. [5]
Fire ecology
The spread of E. yuccifolium is highly favored by fire. [6] It has been shown to increase establishment of seedlings as an effect of fire. [7]
Conservation and Management
E. yuccifolium is listed as endangered/extirpated by the Maryland Natural Heritage Program Department of Natural Resources, and as threatened by the Michigan Natural Features Inventory Department of Natural Resources and by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Natural Areas and Preserves.
