Description
Distribution
Ecology
E. curtisii was absent before herbicide treatments near the end of the growing season but present after. This might be because of increased availability of resources.[1]
Habitat
This has been found in wet pine flatwoods, in Longleaf pinelands and savannas (FSU Herbarium). This has also been spotted in human disturbed areas such as along roadsides and in edges of flatwoods (FSU Herbarium). May be associated with areas that have been disturbed where the soil is a heavy sticky clay type (FSU Herbarium).
Associated species include wiregrass, Quercus pumila, Q. minima, Serenoa repens (FSU Herbarium).
