Description
S. grandiflora is an upright native annual herb with showy pink flowers on an almost leafless stems, that can reach up to 1 meter tall. The leaves are opposite, linear, inconspicuous, and fleshy. The flower is a 5-pointed star, deep to pale pink, with a yellow and red mark at the base of each petal that forms a small yellow star. The twisted yellow stigma and the protruding green ovary are held terminally and in upper leaf axils. The fruit is a small capsule.[1]
Distribution
Sabatia grandiflora is distributed in the Coastal Plain from Florida to Alabama and Virginia[2] with disjunct populations in western Cuba.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, Sabatia grandiflora occurs in pine-wiregrass-saw palmetto flatwoods, karst pond shores, and longleaf pine wiregrass communities.[4] Within its distribution in the Coastal Plain, habitats include moist sites, wet prairies and flatwoods, and bogs.[1]
Phenology
Flowers and fruits in June and July.[4][5]
Pollination
Sabatia grandiflora was observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host bees such as Bombus impatiens (family Apidae) and sweat bees from the Halictidae family such as Augochlorella aurata, Halictus poeyi, Lasioglossum coreopsis, L. nymphalis, L. puteulanum and L. tamiamensis.[6]
