Description
A description of Lyonia lucida is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
L. lucida responds positively to soil disturbance by heavy silvilculture in North Carolina.[1] It also responds both positively and negatively to soil disturbance by clearcutting and roller chopping in North Florida.[2] However, it responds negatively to chopping in South Florida saw palmetto-pinleand communities.[3]
Lyonia lucida is frequent and abundant in the Central Florida Flatwoods/Prairies and North Florida Wet Flatlands community types as described in Carr et al. (2010).[4]
Phenology
L. lucida has been observed flowering from January to May and in November and December with peak inflorescence in April.[5]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Lyonia lucida at Archbold Biological Station: [6]
Apidae: Bombus impatiens
Halictidae: Lasioglossum placidensis
Conservation and management
Cultivation and restoration
