Description

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

This species can live in humid, subtropical climates in drying sandy loam on the edges of woodland remnants, shade of mesic woodlands, xeric limestone prairies, open old-field pine woods, and sandy clay of the Red Hills (Burton 2009, FSU Herbarium, McCain and Ebinger 2014). It can live in communities dominated by post oak as well (Burton 2009). This species is also found in disturbed habitats such as upland pine-hardwoods, partially wooded vacant lots, and beside trail edges (FSU Herbarium).

Phenology

This species flowers and fruits between October and November (FSU Herbarium).

Seed dispersal

Seed bank and germination

Fire ecology

Burton found that the percent cover of S. patens showed a positive linear response to increased fire frequency (Burton 2009).

Pollination

Use by animals

Diseases and parasites

Conservation and Management

Cultivation and restoration
