My family had planned a day trip to Fort Myers so I took advantage of the ride and was dropped off at the SR29 entrance of Bear Island. I bicycled along Bear Island Grade & Perocchi Grade to the main Bear Island Campground (just under 9 miles) and then just a bit east of that area to do some botanizing in an area that seemed to have been burned in the last year. I didn't have a ton of time and so really mostly focused on plants!
All of my observations from today: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?on=2023-11-25&order=asc&place_id=2348&user_id=joemdo
Perennial grass that grows 2-4' tall with alternate leaves at the base. The leaf at the base is flat and is rolled inward halfway to the tip. The inner surface is a shade of light blue and the outside is green. The culm terminates into a spike/panicle.
Forming small tussocks on exposed, moderately dry limestone outcrop along a small gully in open tundra.
