Partridge Berry

Mitchella repens

This little plant produces two flowers with ovaries that fuse into a single fruit. Typically grown as a curiosity. This is a very small plant that acts as a groundcover with the caveat that the plants are very small. Keep it in a natural forested setting or establish in such an area.

Lush, dense shade tree

Fruit eaten by birds

Sweet Pepperbush

Clethra alnifolia

The herbarium specimen from Polk County almost certainly has a wrong location. Lithia is in Hillsborough County and the most likely translation of a wrongly written latitude and longitude is also in Hillsborough County -- but the exact location would have been agricultural in 1962. Hedges, back borders. Blooms in summer.

Lovely dark green, shiny leaves
Attractive contrast between flowers and foliage
Magnificent showy flowers in summer
