Seeds tan or blackish gray, obovate, 1.8-2 mm long, ribbed, arillate."[2]

Distribution

P. cistoides was reported for Georgia, but the documentation is untraceable. A better confirmation is pending.[1]

Ecology

Habitat

Natural habitats include open upland pine woodland; well drained longleaf pineland; scattered on slopes and ridges in a longleaf pine forest; recently burned sandhill; and longleaf, wiregrass habitat.[3] It has also been documented to occur along powerline corridors. It has been observed to grow in drying loamy sand.[3] Associated species include longleaf pine and wiregrass.[3]

Phenology

P. cistoides has been observed to bloom in August.[3] Kevin Robertson has observed this species flower within three months of burning. KMR

Seed dispersal

This species is thought to be dispersed by ants and/or explosive dehiscence.[4]

Pollination

The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Piriqueta cistoides subsp. caroliniana at Archbold Biological Station:[5]

Halictidae: Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis metallica, Lasioglossum nymphalis

Use by animals

Agraulis vanillae use P. cistoides. subsp. caroliniana as a host plant. Native bees feed from the flowers and ants feed off the elaiosome from the P. cistoides. subsp. caroliniana.[6]
