Hypoxis sessilis L.

Ecological interactions

Conservation status

SR-P; SH, G4.

Distribution

Wet pine savannas (SPS-T, WLPS, VWLPS).

Notes

Occasional. Apr(-later, especially in response to fire); May(-later, especially in response to fire). The specimens collected by the author lack seeds, which are the most accurate means of distinguishing this species from Hypoxis wrightii. However, the floral and vegetative features (see key above) of the specimens match the descriptions of Hypoxis sessilis, and the specimens themselves appear similar to Hypoxis sessils specimens examined at NCU (Britt 195, Leonard and Davis SWL– 748, Radford 147, and Sorrie 12618).
