Description
R. gracilenta is a perennial graminoid of the Cyperaceae family native to North America.[2]
Distribution
R. gracilenta is found along the southeastern coast of the United States from Texas to New York.[2]
Ecology
Habitat
R. gracilenta proliferates in savannas and bogs.[1] Specimens have been collected from shaded borders of a creek, wet soil of hammock, roadside seepage, canopy at headwaters of a creek, marshy shores of lake, swampy areas, sandy peat of savanna bog in pineland, wetland longleaf pine savanna, pine flatwoods, and near margin of gum-pond.[3]
Phenology
R. gracilenta has been observed flowering in January, March, and May through November with peak inflorescence in July.[4]
Fire ecology
Populations of Rhynchospora gracilenta have been known to persist through repeated annual burning.[5]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
R. gracilenta is listed as extirpated by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.[2]
