Scientific profile
Scorzoneroides autumnalis is a herbaceous, non-woody plant with broad leaves, reaching a typical height of around 13 cm. It is native in Great Britain and grows in open, sunny situations on fresh to moderately moist, neutral to weakly acid soils of average fertility. The species tolerates little salinity and is associated with low-disturbance habitats. Flowering occurs from July to August, producing inflorescences that offer both nectar and pollen (value 5 each) to visiting insects. It forms arbuscular mycorrhizal associations. The diaspores are small, with an average mass of about 0.67 mg.
