Description

A description of Symphyotrichum undulatum is provided in The Flora of North America.

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida, S. undulatum can be found in upland oak-hickory woods, limestone glades, and along pine-oak woodlands.[2]

S. undulatum has shown resistance to regrowth in reestablished longleaf pine woodlands that were disturbed by agriculture in South Carolina coastal plain communities, making it an indicator species for remnant woodlands.[3]

Associated species include Pinus, Quercus, and Carya.[2]

Phenology

It has been observed flowering in January, October and November.[2][4]
