Taxonomic notes

Description

A description of Solidago fistulosa is provided in The Flora of North America.

Distribution

Found in the Coastal Plain from Louisiana to New Jersey, however, is primarily concentrated in the southeast coastal plain.[1]

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, S. fistulosa occurs in wet hammocks, cabbage palm-slash pine hammocks, slash pine woodlands, lake margins, open ditches bordering swamps, shores of cypress ponds, thickets bordering cypress-gum depressions, floodplain woodlands, brackish marshes, and dried out cypress depressions. It also occurs in disturbed areas such as roadside depressions, black sandy peat of a logged over hillside bog, clear-cut sand pine scrub ridge, old pastures, and a drainage ditch bordering pine flatwoods. Soils include loamy sand, sandy loam, sandy peat, and clay.[2]

Associated species include Euthamia minor, Eupatorium, Xyris, Cladium, Rhynchospora fascicularis and Hypericum cistifolium.[2]

Phenology

S. fistulosa spreads by rhizomes along with sexual reproduction. It is a monecious species. It has been observed flowering in July and September through November and fruits in October.[2][3]

Fire ecology

S. fistulosa has been observed growing in a recently burned pineland bay forest and an annually burned pine forest.[2] Populations have been known to persist through repeated annual burning.[4]

Pollination

Solidago fistulosa has been observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host bees from the Apidae family such as Apis mellifera, plasterer bees from the Colletidae family such as Colletes mandibularis and C. thysanellae, sweat bees from the Halictidae family such as Augochlorella gratiosa, Halictus poeyi and Sphecodes heraclei, leafcutting bees such as Coelioxys sayi (family Megachilidae), thread-waisted wasps from the Sphecidae family such as Anacrabro ocellatus and Tachytes validus, and wasps from the Vespidae family such as Eumenes smithii, Parancistrocerus salcularis rufulus, Polistes dorsalis hunteri and Zethus spinipes.[5]

Conservation, cultivation, and restoration

S. fistulosa is a perennial weed in blueberry plantations in North Carolina. It is tolerant of terbacil.[6]

Cultural use

Rubber can be made from the latex found in the leaves.[7]
