Hedge plant.

This is a sedge. Most Rhynchospora species are wind pollinated. The white bracts of this species attract insects. Wetland garden or informal savanna.

Flowers are dark maroon, not showy. Small specimen tree. Also works well as a component of floodplain forests.

Sensitize to cold weather. Small specimen plant, foundation planting, general cover plant in shaded areas.

In a wildflower garden or meadow, because it's noticeable only when flowering.

Dry meadows. Wildflower gardens.

Specimen plant, thicket, or natural background plantings.

Can be pruned. Works well as a specimen plant. Its thick, large leaves make it stand out from most other plants in the landscape. Very useful in settings subject to salt spray.

The range map for this species suggests that it might occur in the ApalachicolaRiver floodplains even where it had not been documented. Shade tree. This is a large oak.

Wildflower garden.

Salt water is not required. This species is cold sensitive near the northern ends of its range and may die back during extreme freezes. Mangroves are protected and you may not trim or remove them. See this Florida DEP web page for the latest information: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/central/Home/SLERP/Mangroves/mangroves.htm Very good for coastal stabilization. Can act as a specimen plant in coastal areas. This tree is noted for its prop roots.

Two varieties exist, both occur in this area. Wildflower garden.

For special uses only. This tall growing vine can hide unsightly objects in moist places and is useful to providing cover for wildlife and food for birds. When grown on a fence or arbor, new leaves can be bright red in color.

Retain if in the landscape. Can be used as a specimen plant in areas not subject to root disturbance.

This is a wetland plant. It is rarely grown, but it has potential in appropriate sites. Hedges, screening.

Depending on cold, this may keep its leaves all year or die back during the winter. In colder areas, consider growing it as an annual. It adapts well to semi-shady to shady well-drained conditions. Herbarium specimens from Marion and Alachua counties were in disturbed "garden" localities - not mapped here.  Not planted, but highly unlikely to have appeared other than through human disturbance. Used as a ground cover, one of the relatively few Florida plants that both forms a low dense cover and survives shade.

Can be grown as a groundcover. This is a species on the southern limits of its range in North Florida.  Its known occurrence (ISB 2020) is sparse in FLorida. Informal plantings, especially butterfly gardens. Useful for erosion control.

Fronds are lacy and delicate in appearance. Ground cover. This is a clump-forming fern (all fronds arise from a central point) making it a good focal point in a shade garden. Can also be used as a border plant.

This is one of the world's most widespread species. Multiple subspecies exist  within Florida with two being widespread. Because of its tolerance of acidic soils, this is sometimes used for reclamation of acidic soil areas. Adapted to relatively frequent fire. Groundcover. This is one of the few ferns that can handle sun. Height will depend on variety with bracken ferns from South Florida typically being much larger than those from further north.
