Description

P. lutea is a perennial forb/herb/vine of the Passifloraceae family that is native to North America. [1]

Distribution

P. lutea is found throughout the southeastern United States; from Florida north to Pennsylvania, and west to Texas and Kansas. [1]

Ecology

Habitat

P. lutea has little tolerance for drought conditions and a low tolerance for fire. It is extremely tolerant of shade. [1]

Common environments for P. lutea include woodlands, forests, thickets, and maritime forests. [2]

Specimens have been recovered from edges of maritime hammocks, disturbed roadsides near woodlands, on bases of slopes, and pine-oak woodlands. [3] P. lutea responds negatively to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plain communities. This marks it as an indicator species for remnant woodland.[4]

Phenology

P lutea has been observed flowering in June and July. [5]

Use by animals

Birds will use the species for food. [1]

Conservation and Management

P. lutea is considered a weed in Illinois but is labeled as endangered in Pennsylvania. [1]
