Common name: pink fuzzybean

Description

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

It is associated with longleaf pine-wiregrass communities (Hainds et al 1999). Is found in limestone glades in Leavenworth Barrens Nature Preserve in Crawford County, Indiana where burning is important (Wade and Menges 1986). Strophostyles umbellata is predominately in native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia (Ostertag and Robertson 2007).

Phenology

It blooms from late June to early July (Hainds et al 1999).

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

It occurs in areas that are frequently burned (Hainds et al 1999).

Pollination

Use by animals

It is included in bobwhite quail diet (Sweeney 1981).
