Natural range of Oclemena reticulata from USDA NRCS Plants Database.

Common name: Pine barren aster[1]

Taxonomic notes

Synonyms: Aster reticulatus Pursh; Doellingeria reticulata (Pursh) Greene.[1]

Varieties: none.[1]

Description

A description of Oclemena reticulata is provided in The Flora of North America.

This species is a North American perennial herb. There are 11-30 leaves per plant that are 10-50 mm wide. The leaves are narrowly elliptic, acute to obtuse at the tip, with a coriaceous texture.[1]

It is distinct from other Oclemena by having tall erect stems, leaves with undulate margins, and late spring blooming.[2]

Distribution

This plant ranges from South Carolina to Florida and southern Alabama.[2]

Ecology

Habitat

O. reticulata can be found in areas that are occasionally inudated during the summer rainy season [3]. In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, habitats include wet pine flatwoods, pine/saw palmetto flatwoods, oak/palmetto scrubs, boggy wiregrass pine flatwoods, and ecotones between cypress swamps and pine flatwoods.It can be found in disturbed areas such as powerline corridors, cutover wet pinewoods and pasture edges. Soil types include loamy sand, sandy peat, and sandy loam.[4] O. reticulata does not respond to soil disturbance by clearcutting and chopping in North Florida flatwoods forests.[5]

Associated species include Sphagnum, Pinus serotina, Serenoa repens, Lyonia lucida, Rhynchospora, Cyperus haspan, C. strigosus, Eragrostis atrovirens, Ilex glabra, Lachnanthes caroliniana, Osmunda cinnamomea, Panicum abscisum, Pinus elliottii, Pteridium aquilinum, Rubus argutus, and Smilax laurifolia.[4] [6]

Phenology

O. reticulata has been observed flowering from late April to early June.[1] It can spread by rhizomes and quickly form extensive colonies[3].

Fire ecology

It has been observed growing in prescribed burned wet flatwoods and a burn zone in mesic flatwoods.[6]

Pollination

The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Oclemena reticulata at Archbold Biological Station:[7]

Apidae: Apis mellifera

Megachilidae: Dianthidium floridiense
