Ruellia strepens, the Limestone Wild Petunia聽
Another classic species found in calcareous glades. This species seems to be notably taller than the other Ruellia spp. for the East-coast/ Midwest, or rather, at least in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana it rules the height scale. It only does well with calcareous environments with open-woodlands caused by thin substrate heterogeneity; this said, it has been found a few times in the more open calcareous barren like prairies. The way we can truly tell this species apart is easily remembered by it鈥檚 second common name, The Smooth Petunia.聽 Unlike the Carolina and Hairy Petunia, this species is smooth stemmed; there is a var. that has node tufts. I caught this one in June just starting to bloom but, depending on the eco-range you can find them blooming as early as May to the end of October.
Also this individual has the same energy as Horse gentian mixed with a fringe gentian.聽
