Taxonomic notes
Synonyms: Carphephorus odoratissimus; C. odoratissimus (J.F. Gmelin) Herbert var. odoratissimus; T. odoratissima var. odoratissima[1]
Varieties: none[1]
Description
A description of Trilisa odoratissima is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It is found in frequently burned pine flatwoods or dry prairies[2] and moist areas, depressions, and seepages within burned upland longleaf pine-wiregrass communities[3] and oak-pine woodlands on Ultisols, as well as sand ridges within flatwoods and pine-saw palmettos.[4] It was absent from the seed bank in disturbed and undisturbed sites in North Carolina.[5] It occurs primarily on sandy and drying loamy soils.[4] It is found in disturbed areas such as roadsides, fields, and ditches as well as undisturbed sites.[5][4] T. odoratissima does not respond to soil disturbance by clearcutting and chopping in north Florida flatwoods forests.[6] T. odoratissima is restricted to native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia.[7] While this species is found in the uplands, it is found in the lowlands as well (FSU Herbarium).
Associated species include Quercus, Pinus, Pinus elliottii, Sabal palmetto, and Aristida stricta.[4]
Phenology
It has been seen flowering September through November and fruiting in October through November.[4]
Fire ecology
Trilisa odoratissima is fire-tolerant,[5] as shown by populations that have been known to persist through repeated annual burns.[8][9] T. odoratissima was a prevalent species on burned plots.[10]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of T odoratissima at Archbold Biological Station:[11]
Apidae: Bombus pennsylvanicus
Halictidae: Augochlorella aurata, Halictus poeyi
Megachilidae: Coelioxys octodentata, C. sayi, Dianthidium floridiense, Megachile albitarsis, M. inimica
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
Cultural use
The leaves have been used as a vanilla-like flavoring in pipe tobacco and cigars. Additionally, a tonic can be made from the leaves for treating malaria.[12]
