Description

Common Name: Florida yellow flax

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

This species can be found in open wiregrass seepage savannas, longleaf pine forests, and disturbed areas such as ditches (FSU Herbarium). The soils have been observed to be moist and/or dry loamy sands within well-drained uplands (FSU Herbarium). ===Phenology=== This species has been observed flowering in June (FSU Herbarium).

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

This species occurs in areas that are annually burned (FSU Herbarium). In an open wet pine savanna in Mississippi, the highest densities of flowering stalks for L. floridanum were observed one year after fire (Hinman and Brewer 2007).
