Description
A description of Mikania cordifolia is provided in The Flora of North America.
It can be distinguished from other Mikania by having hexagonally ridged stems.[2] It is not as woody as other lianas and little cork is formed due to a continuous cambium. After being wounded, the ray cells produce a substantial callus that grows onto the peripheral surface of the xylem.[3]
Distribution
M. cordifolia is native to the southeastern United States, Mexico, the West Indies, Central and South America.[4] In the United States, it ranges from southeastern South Carolina and eastern Georgia, south to southern Florida, and west to southern Louisiana.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, M. cordifolia can occur in mixed hardwood forests, wooded slopes along rivers, creek bottoms, climbing on shrubs in limestone ledges, live oak hammocks, cabbage palm hammocks, creek banks, and calcareous wooded bluffs. Associated species include Cabbage palm, Pinus palutris, Quercus virginiana, Acer, Liquidambar styraciflua, Thelypteris, Ageratina, and Arnoglossum diversifolium. It has been observed to grow in rich humus soils.[5]
Phenology
This species flowers August through November.[6]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera species were observed visiting flowers of Mikania cordifolia at the Archbold Biological Station:[7]
Bees from the family Apidae: Bombus impatiens
Plasterer bees from the family Colletidae: Colletes mandibularis, Hylaeus graenicheri, H. schwarzi
Sweat bees from the family Halictidae: Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis anonyma, A. metallica, A. sumptuosa, Lasioglossum miniatulus, L. nymphalis
Wasps from the family Leucospididae: Leucospis affinis, L. robertsoni, L. slossonae
Leafcutting bees from the family Megachilidae: Coelioxys mexicana, C. sayi, Megachile albitarsis, M. brevis pseudobrevis, M. mendica, M. xylocopoides
Thread-waisted bees from the family Sphecidae: Bicyrtes quadrifasciata, Crabro hilaris rufibasis, Ectemnius rufipes ais, Isodontia exornata, Oxybelus laetus fulvipes
Wasps from the family Vespidae: Eumenes fraternus, E. smithii, Leptochilus republicanus, Pachodynerus erynnis, Polistes bellicosus, P. dorsalis hunteri, Polistes perplexus, Stenodynerus fundatiformis, S. histrionalis rufustus, S. lineatifrons, S. pulvinatus surrufus, Zethus slossonae, Z. spinipes
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
Cultural use
In Brazil, it is popularly known as "guaco" and is used to treat respiratory problems and snake bites. It is known to contain diterpenes, sesquiterpenes and phenylproanoids which have therapeutic affects.[8] In Surinam, it is used to treat measles and French Guinana is used to treat skin rashes and scabies.[9]
