Description
This species can be frequent where it is found (FSU Herbarium).
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
This species is found in pine flatwoods, evergreen scrub oak sand ridges, fallow fields, bordering swamps, and longleaf pine-wiregrass pinelands (FSU Herbarium). Also found in disturbed areas, Lactuca graminifolia has also been observed to grow along roadsides, near campgrounds, around parking compounds, and within moist, sphagnum-filled ditches (FSU Herbarium). It grows in dry, loamy sands as well as moist, grassy areas in open light conditions (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
This species has been observed flowering from March through July and in October (FSU Herbarium). It has also been observed fruiting from May through June and in October (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
It is found in patches of degraded longleaf pine sandhill after burn and control (no burn) treatments.[1]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Lactuca graminifolia at Archbold Biological Station (Deyrup 2015):
Halictidae: Halictus poeyi
Megachilidae: Dianthidium floridiense
