Description
G. catesbaei is a perennial forb that is a member of the Gentianaceae family native to the southeast United States.[2]
Distribution
The distribution of G. catesbaei ranges from north Florida to southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey [2].
Ecology
Habitat
G. catesbaei can be found in "pocosins, moist longleaf pine savanna edges, edges of moist hardwood forests, bluff seepages" [3]. It has been observed in a swale clearing of a wet woodland, in a logged over hillside bog, on the border of a small marsh and a pond, a bottomland woodland, a streamside, floodplain woods, and a Magnolia virginiana swamp. Habitat typically has saturated, loamy, peat soil.[4] It is listed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service as an obligate wetland species that only occurs in wetland habitats.[2]
Phenology
This species typically flowers from late September through November[3], but can still have flowers present through mid-December.[4] It has been observed to flower in November and December as well.[5]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
Gentiana catesbaei is listed as extirpated by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.[2] It is also presumed to be extirpated in New Jersey, and is critically imperiled in Mississippi, as well as vulnerable in North Carolina.[6]
