Natural range of Garberia heterophylla from USDA NRCS Plants Database.

Common name: Garberia

Taxonomic notes

Synonyms: Garberia fruticosa (Nuttall) A. Gray.[1]

Varieties: none.[1]

Description

A description of Garberia heterophylla is provided in The Flora of North America.

G. heterophylla is a perennial species that reaches a height of 4 to 8 feet. The obovate leaves are alternately on the vertical stem.[2]

Distribution

Garberia heterophylla is endemic to central peninsular Florida to the Lake Wales Ridge area.[3]

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida, G. heterophylla occurs in sand pine-oak scrub ridges. [4] Associated species includes Quercus virginiana and Pinus clausa. [4]

Phenology

Fruits November through December and flowers October through December. [4]

Seed dispersal

Seeds are dispersed by wind. [5]

Seed bank and germination

Smoke does not stimulate germination. [6]

Fire ecology

Carrington (1999) found G. heterophylla to be a strong resprouter post-fire, with a high percentage of individuals flowering. This study also found seedlings were established between 4 to 16 months post fire. This contradicts Weekley and Menges (2003), who found that survival was lower for burned individuals than for unburned individuals, suggesting G. heterophylla was a weak resprouter.

Pollination

Various pollinator species were observed visiting flowers of Garberia heterophylla at the Archbold Biological Station. These include bees from the Apidae family (Bombus impatiens, Epeolus carolinus), plasterer bees from the Colletidae family (Colletes mandibularis), sweat bees from the Halictidae family (Agapostemon splendens, Augochlora pura, Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis metallica, Lasioglossum miniatulus, L. nymphalis, L. placidensis and Sphecodes heraclei), leafcutting bees from the Megachilidae family (Anthidiellum notatum rufomaculatum, Coelioxys sayi, Megachile albitarsis, M. mendica, M. pruina and M. xylocopoides), thread-waisted wasps from the Sphecidae family (Cerceris flavofasciata floridensis and Eremnophila aureonotata) and wasps from the Vespidae family (Monobia quadridens, Pachodynerus erynnis, Stenodynerus fundatiformis, Zethus slossonae and Zethus spinipes).[7] Additionally, G. heterophylla was observed being visited by Calycopis cecrops (red-banded hairstreak) in scrubby flatwoods along a short, relatively steep ecotone between Pinus clausa scrub and a Pinus densa savanna in northern Highlands County, Nov 28, 2016.[8]
