Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, P. foetida can be found at edges of creeks and swampy woodlands, bordering deciduous forests, cypress-sweetgum swamps, cabbage palmetto/ water hickory hammocks, marshy areas, flatwood streams, deeply shaded floodplains, moist depressions of sandbars, wet drainage bordering savannas, slash pine-wiregrass flatwoods, wiregrass/saw palmetto with scattered pines and cypress bays, swamp forests, open bogs, and semi shaded mesic woods along creek swamps.[2] It has also been documented to grow in sandy ditches bordering slash pine/gallberry flatwoods, clearings of swampy woodlands, and moist depressions along trails. Associated species include slash pine, gallberry, wiregrass, saw palmetto and cypress trees.[2] It has been observed to grow in shaded and semi-shaded areas.[2] Soil types can include peaty soils, mucky moist loamy sands, coarse sands of a pond shore, and drying loamy soil.[2] Associated species include Cypress, sweetgum, cabbage palmetto, hickory, slash pine, wiregrass, saw palmetto, and gallberry.[2]

P. foetida increased its occurrence or was unaffected in response to soil disturbance by roller chopping in south Florida. It has shown regrowth or been unaffected by reestablished native habitats that were disturbed by this practice.[3]

Pluchea foetida is an indicator species for the Peninsula Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[4]

Phenology

Flowering has been documented June through November.[2][5]

Seed bank and germination

Several short-lived perennial forbs also have a seed bank persistent for at least several years.[6]

Fire ecology

Populations of Pluchea foetida have been known to persist through repeated annual burning.[7]

Herbivory and toxicology

Pluchea foetida has been observed to host assassin bugs such as Apiomerus crassipes (family Reduviidae).[8]
