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.[2]

Distribution

Habenaria quinqueseta is distributed along the southeastern coastal plain, from South Carolina south to southern Florida and west to southeastern Texas.[3]

Ecology

Habitat

H. quinqueseta is generally found in moist hardwood hammocks, wet pine flatwoods, ditches, and Altamaha Grit outcrops.[3] It has been observed in moist to dry loamy or sandy soils of longleaf pine savannas and open mixed woodlands.[4] As well, it can be found along roadsides, and in swamps, meadows, and dry to wet mixed flatwoods.[5] 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.[6] It has been shown to decrease in frequency with clearcutting the overstory.[7] This species is also considered an indicator species of the north Florida longleaf woodlands habitat.[8]

Associated species include Pinus, Quercus, Magnolia, Cornus, Liquidambar styraciflua, Vaccinium, Pinus taeda, and Quercus nigra.[4]

Habenaria quinqueseta is an indicator species for the North Florida Longleaf Woodlands community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[9]

Phenology

This species generally flowers between August and October.[3] It has been observed flowering and fruiting in September and October.[4][10]

Seed dispersal

This species is thought to be dispersed by gravity. [11]

Fire ecology

Populations of Habenaria quinqueseta have been known to persist through repeated annual burning,[12][13] and commonly grows in habitats that are fire-dependent.[8]

Conservation, cultivation, and restoration

It is listed on the global status as G4 due to this species being critically imperiled in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and South Carolina.[5]
