Description
A description of Scleria reticularis is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, S. reticularis can be found in wet, mesic and dry savannas, pine-wiregrass savannas, depression marshes, mesic mixed hardwoods, shores of natural ponds, seepage bogs, wet pine thickets, lake shores, dried up ponds, interdune ponds, swamps, and pine flatwoods (FSU Herbarium; Walker and Peet 1983). It can also be found in unnatural ponds, roadside ditches, powerline corridors, clobbered wet flatwoods, hiking trails, sandy fields, borrowpits, choppped up savannas, swampy woodland clearings, and logged flatwoods. The historical range includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Massachusetts, New York and Missouri and is considered rare species associated with depression wetlands in the southeastern Coastal Plain (Edwards and Weakley 2001).
Associated species include Eleocharis equisetoides, Nymphaea, Rhynchospora, Panicum, Juncus, Xyris, Sagittaria isoetiformis, Lachnocaulon, Pinguicula, bahiagrass, bermudagrass, Rhynchospora oligantha, Cuphea aspera, Verbesina chapmanii, Magnolia, Nyssa, Pinckneya, Liquidambar, Quercus, Scleria verticillata, Anthaenantia, Pleea, Drosera, Macbridea alba, Phyla and Cyperus (FSU Herbarium).
Soils include sandy peat and loamy sand (FSU Herbarium).
Phenology
It is considered a short lived plant (Hinmann and Brewer 2007). Flowers and fruits June through November (FSU Herbarium).
Seed bank and germination
It is present in the seed bank (Edwards and Weakley 2001).
Fire ecology
S. reticularis was one of the several species to increase in frequency from significant change (from pre-fire to post-fire) (Hinmann and Brewer 2007). “S. reticularis produced greater numbers of flowering stalks in second post-fire census than in the pre-fire census.” (Hinmann and Brewer 2007).
