Description
A description of Habenaria quinqueseta is provided in The Flora of North America.
Habenaria quinqueseta is a perennial herbaceous species. It reaches heights of about 27 inches with white flowers.[1]
Distribution
Habenaria quinqueseta is distributed along the southeastern coastal plain, from South Carolina south to southern Florida and west to southeastern Texas.[2]
Ecology
Habitat
H. quinqueseta is generally found in moist hardwood hammocks, wet pine flatwoods, ditches, and Altamaha Grit outcrops.[2] It has been observed in moist to dry loamy or sandy soils of longleaf pine savannas and open mixed woodlands.[3] As well, it can be found along roadsides, and in swamps, meadows, and dry to wet mixed flatwoods.[4] It is listed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service as a facultative wetland species that most often occurs in wetland habitats but can also occasionally be found in non-wetland habitats.[5] It has been shown to decrease in frequency with clearcutting the overstory.[6]
Associated species include Pinus, Quercus, Magnolia, Cornus, Liquidambar styraciflua, Vaccinium, Pinus taeda, and Quercus nigra.[3]
Phenology
This species generally flowers between August and October.[2] It has been observed flowering and fruiting in September and October.[3][7]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity. [8]
Conservation and management
It is listed on the global status as G4 due to this species being critically imperiled in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and South Carolina.[4]
