Description
Proserpinaca pectinata is a dioecious perennial that grows as a forb/herb.[2] Flowers are red, orange, and green in color.[3]
Distribution
This species occurs from Nova Scotia, south to southern Florida, and westward to western Louisiana. While it is primarily found along the coastal plain, it occurs inland, as far as Tennessee.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
P. pectinata occurs in bogs, savannas, ditches, and other wet places.[1] Along New York pond shorelines, this species is found on areas of organic exposed pond bottoms and permanently flooded zones.[4] In New Jersey pinelands, Proserpinaca pectinata occurred in 20% of ponds.[5]
Proserpinaca pectinata is an indicator species for the Calcareous Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[6]
Phenology
In the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, flowering has been observed from June through October.[1][7]
