Pine flatwoods

Girdle papillate, megaspores uniform in size and shape. ! D.F. Brunton, 23 Mar. 2023

We are here looking at a potential purpose for a research station and conservation easement. Very exciting to see a robust population of this species here

Breeding in Roadside Ditch

Looked at srel herps. Looks like a rat snake to me as well

Protocorms

Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, FL

aquatic, growing in ephemeral pool

Monotropa brittonii — see last two photos showing dense pubescence on inside of flower part.

I'm not sure whether to mark this captive/cultivated or not. It is from a derilect experimental plot, and ut is no longer tended to.
