Taxonomic Notes
Synonyms: Liatris graminifolia Willdenow var. elegantula (Greene) Gaiser; Laciniaria elegantula Greene; Laciniaria graminifolia (Willdenow) Kuntze.[2]
Varieties: none.[2]
Description
L. elegantula is a perennial forb/herb of the Asteraceae family native to North America.[1]
Distribution
L. elegantula ranges from Georgia, south to northern peninsular Florida, and west to Mississippi.[2]
Ecology
Habitat
L. elegantula is found in sandhills and other dry woodlands.[3] Specimens have been collected from drying sand of open pine oak woodland, red clay soils, burned pineland, hardwood stand, peat of savanna, pine flatwoods, limestone glade, broom sedge old fields, longleaf pine wiregrass savanna, sandy old field, borders of hardwood hammock, and on the bank of a river.[4] A study exploring longleaf pine patch dynamics found L. elegantula to be most strongly represented within stands of longleaf pine that are between 180-250 years of age.[5]
Phenology
L. elegantula flowers from August through November.[2]
