Taxonomic Notes
Synonyms: Arsenococcus frondosus (Pursh) Small; Xolisma foliosiflora (Michaux) Small; Xolisma ligustrina (Linnaeus) Britton.[3]
Varieties: Lyonia ligustrina (Linnaeus) A.P. de Candolle var. foliosiflora (Michaux) Fernald; Lyonia ligustrina (Linnaeus) A.P. de Candolle var. ligustrina.[3]
Description
L. ligustrina is a perennial shrub of the Ericaceae family native to North America.[1]
Distribution
L. ligustrina var. foliosiflora ranges from southeast Virginia to central Florida, west to eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma, and north to Tennessee and Arizona. Var. foliosiflora is the usual variety on the Coastal Plain. Lyonia ligustrina var. ligustrina ranges from southern Maine, southern New Hampshire, southern Vermont, southeastern New York, southern Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky, south to west-central South Carolina, northern Georgia, and northeastern Alabama. Var. ligustrina is the usual variety in the Mountains and Piedmont, but also extends into the Coastal Plains of North Carolina and South Carolina.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
L. ligustrina is found in pocosins, seepage bogs, mountain bogs, shrub balds, bottomlands, other moist to wet habitats, and "dry" exposed ridges at high elevations.[2] Specimens have been collected from wet woodland along streams, swampy woodland, pine flatwoods, cypress swamp, and low wet savanna.[4] L. ligustrina responds positively to soil disturbance by heavy silviculture in North Carolina.[5]
Phenology
L. ligustrina var. foliosiflora flowers from late April through June, and fruits from September through October. L. ligustrina var. ligustrina flowers from May through July and fruits from September through October.[3]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
L. ligustrina is listed as possibly extirpated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Natural Areas and Preserves.[1]
