Description

Common Name: fringed yellow star-grass

Hypoxis juncea is a perennial herbaceous species.

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

It is a dry flatwoods/ sandhill species.[1]

Phenology

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

This species has been found in habitat that is maintained by frequent fire (FSU Herbarium). H. juncea appeared to have benefited from high fire frequencies in a study in 2003.[1] Observed H. juncea respouting at least 10 days after a fire that occurred in June of 1993.[2]

Pollination

Mark Deyrup at Archbold Biological Station observed these Hymenoptera species on Hypoxis juncea

Halictidae: Augochlorella gratiosa

Halictidae: Lasioglossum nymphalis

Use by animals

Deyrup observed this bee, Dialictus nymnphalis, on H. juncea.[3] “…Hypoxis is one of the most important plants for quail, which occurred (resprouted) in the ranking only the first 1 or 2 months after fire.[4]

Diseases and parasites
