Description
Distribution
Ecology
In a burning x no shade treatment, R. reniformis was found to have elevated levels of N2-fixation (Hiers and Mitchell 2007). Herbivory damage for R. reniformis does not increase with time since fire (Knight and Holt 2005).

Fire ecology
R. reniformis is a legume found in frequently burned longleaf pine savannas (Brewer and Cralle 2003, Hiers and Mitchell 2007). Was observed to resprout one month after a fire in July of 1993 (Pavon 1995).
