Description

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

It is distinct from other Oclemena by having tall erect stems, leaves with undulate margins, and late spring blooming [1].

Distribution

Distributed from South Carolina to Florida and southern Alabama[1].

Ecology

Habitat

O. reticulata can be found in areas that are occasionally inudated during the summer rainy season [2]. 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 (FSU Herbarium). 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 (FSU Herbarium; UF Herbarium).

Phenology

Flowers and fruits have been observed March through October (FSU Herbarium). It can spread by rhizomes and quickly form extensive colonies [2].

Fire ecology

It has been observed growing in prescribed burned wet flatwoods and a burn zone in mesic flatwoods (UF Herbarium).

Pollination

The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Oclemena reticulata at Archbold Biological Station (Deyrup 2015):

Apidae: Apis mellifera

Megachilidae: Dianthidium floridiense

Conservation and management

Global status: G4G5

Last Reviewed: May 2, 1988[3].
