Description
Summary:The flora of the Paynes Prairie basin, south of Gainesville, Florida, is representative of the freshwater marshes and prairies of northern Florida. Twenty dominant vascular plant species of the basin were selected for a one year phenological study. Included were 14 herbaceous perennials, one annual, and five woody species. The timing and duration of flowering, fruit dispersal, vegetative growth, and dormancy of selected populations were noted weekly from 16 June 1981 to 14 June 1982. A diversity of growth and reproductive patterns, pollination mechanisms, and perennating structures were observed. Also included are climatic information and a record of water levels on the basin during the period of study.
