Editing Linospadix linospadix (section)

===Ecology:===
All species of Linospadix occur in moist
closed forests that lack a significant seasonal
dry period. Rainfall is above 1200 mm
and as high as 10000 mm per annum in some
of these forests. In Australia, the genus occurs
from sea-level up to 1600 m altitude;
in New Guinea, it is most common at 200-1000
m altitude, and uncommon at 0-200
m and above 1000 m altitude. Very little is
known about the ecology of the genus,
though it has been observed that it has traits
that suggest that it is anemophilous (insect
pollinated) and that it is protandrous
(Henderson 1986). As for phenology
(periodicity of floral events), there is a
considerable period of time between staminate
anthesis (pollen shedding phase) and
pistilate receptivity on an individual
inflorescence. Preliminary observations suggest
that the lag time may be up to 12 months
for ''L. monostachya'' and at least many
months for other Australian species.
Population ecology, reproductive biology and
genetic diversity are essentially unknown
for the genus, and are areas of study that
could yield interesting results.
