Description
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Areas P. pilosa can be found include limestone glades, edge of pine-oak woodlands, pine/hardwood areas, semi-boggy slopes of longleaf pine savanna, burned upland longleaf pinelands and in mesic shaded woodlands by streamlet (FSU Herbarium). Has been found to grow in dry loamy sand (FSU Herbarium).
P. pilosa has been found to grow along highways and the remnants of slightly disturbed woodland habitats (FSU Herbarium).
Associated species include Rhynchospora divergens, Sporobolus vaginiflorus, slash pine and longleaf pine (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
Flowering has been observed March through May (FSU Herbarium).
Seed dispersal
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
P. pilosa shows delayed flowering in response to early-season burning (Pavlovic et al. 2011).
