Eriocaulon koernickianum, common names dwarf pipewort or gulf pipewort, is a plant species native to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia and Texas. It occurs in moist, sandy acidic soils in seeps and bogs. [2] [3][4][5]
Eriocaulon koernickianum is an herb up to 8 cm tall, reproducing sexually and also by means of lateral vegetative shoots. Leaves are narrow, up to 5 cm long. Flowers are clustered into a head at the top of a long flowering stalk. Heads are up to 4 mm in diameter, gray to olive, lacking the ciliate hairs common in many other species of the genus.[2][6][7][8][9]
