PHENOLOGY: Apr-May; Sep-Oct.
HABITAT: Pastures, thickets, disturbed woodlands and forests, fencerows.
COMMENTS: Ranges throughout the eastern US, except c. and s. peninsular FL, sometimes forming extensive colonies. C. crus-galli is variable in the size and shape of leaves and minor flower and fruit characters, this accounting for an extensive synonymy, with most earlier names applied by Charles Sargent. Plants having 3 to 5 styles and as many pyrenes have been alternatively placed under C. reverchonii Sargent, these also exhibiting a tendency to have smaller, suborbiculate leaves on terminal shoots. Typical forms of C. crus-galli tend to have 1 to 2 styles and pyrenes, and with a range of leaf shapes from narrow to nearly suborbiculate.
