Bartonia paniculata, commonly known as twining screwstem, is a saprophytic, annual or biennial species that grows in acidic, sandy-peaty wetlands.[1]
Distribution
[edit]Bartonia paniculata is the northernmost-ranging species in the genus Bartonia.[3] It is found along the Atlantic coastal plain; its widespread range crosses 29 American states and five Canadian provinces, and overlaps with that of Bartonia virginica.[3][4] The subspecies texana is found in eastern Texas and northeastern Louisiana; it was previously identified as Bartonia texana.[2]
Conservation
[edit]Twining screwstem is legally protected in the state of Michigan as a threatened species.[5]
Populations of the subspecies texana have declined by 50% over the past 57 years.[6] It is found within the baygalls of the coastal plain forests of southeastern Texas. As the baygalls have become rarer as a plant community, the texana subpopulation has also declined.[6]
