| 0 | NA 89160 | 2025RJLSEUS-08 | Ilex hybr. | Florida, United States | NA | | | 2025 | COLLECTED | 10/02/2025 | Eglin Air Force Base: coastal dune ridge on Eglin AFB behind businesses located along Florida State Highway 98. The site is accessed through a now gated and permanently closed Eglin AFB, East River Unit, A-21 Road (now open to pedestrian traffic only with a valid Eglin user permit). After walking through the gated road, the site is to the west along 4-wheeling trails. | 30.41191000, -86.77315800 | 8 | Part shade in a primarily evergreen extremely dry dune community with a mixed understory of deciduous and evergreen plants. Slope: 0 to 2 percent. Soils: The soils of this are characterized as Kureb Series sand, 0 to 8 percent slopes. The Kureb series consists of very deep, excessively drained, gently sloping to moderately steep soils on Coastal Plain uplands and on side slopes along streams and bays. They have formed in marine, aeolian, or fluvial sands. Slopes range from 0 to 20 percent. The thickness of the sandy horizon is more than 2 meters. Soil reaction is neutral to extremely acid throughout. All horizons are fine sand, sand, or coarse sand. Silt plus clay content is less than 5 percent. (Source: California Soil Resource Lab/NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions). Geology: The underlying geology of this area is characterized as undifferentiated Quaternary Sediments. Much of Florida's surface is covered by a varying thickness of undifferentiated sediments consisting of siliciclastics, organics and freshwater carbonates. Where these sediments exceed 6.1 meters thick, they were mapped as discrete units. To subdivide the undifferentiated sediments, those sediments occurring in flood plains were mapped as alluvial and flood plain deposits (Qal). Sediments showing surficial expression of beach ridges and dunes were mapped separately (Qbd) as were the sediments composing Trail Ridge (Qtr). Terrace sands were not mapped (refer to Healy [1975] for a discussion of the terraces in Florida). The subdivisions of the Undifferentiated Quaternary Sediments (Qu) are not lithostratigraphic units but are utilized to facilitate a better understanding of the State's geology. The siliciclastics are light gray, tan, brown to black, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, clean to clayey, silty, unfossiliferous, variably organic-bearing sands to blue green to olive green, poorly to moderately consolidated, sandy, silty clays. Gravel is occasionally present in the panhandle. Organics occur as plant debris, roots, disseminated organic matrix and beds of peat. Freshwater carbonates, often referred to as marls in the literature, are scattered over much of the State. In southern Florida, freshwater carbonates are nearly ubiquitous in the Everglades. These sediments are buff colored to tan, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, fossiliferous carbonate muds. Sand, silt and clay may be present in limited quantities. These carbonates often contain organics. The dominant fossils in the freshwater carbonates are mollusks. (Source: USGS Florida Geologic Map Data). | Wild material | | 2193006 | NA 89160 |

These soils are on gently sloping to moderately steep uplands with slopes ranging from 1 to 20 percent. The Letney Series (30%) consists of deep, well drained, moderately rapidly permeable, upland soils. They formed in thick sandy and loamy sediments of the coastal plains. These soils are on gently sloping to moderately steep uplands with slopes ranging from 1 to 20 percent. Soil pH ranges from 4.5 to 6.0. The minor soil components include Doucette Series (10%) and Boykin Series (5%) soils. (Source: California Soil Resource Lab/NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions). Geology: The underlying geology of this area is of Oligocene origin and characterized as Catahoula Formation. This formation is extensive and deep in Texas, up to 185 meters thick. In the area of the collection the Catahoula Formation is primarily mudstone and sand. The upper 90-150 meters is mudstone that is tuffaceous, and sandy; also, occasionally, with some bentonitic clay.

Infrequent, but occasionally seen in drier woods; more common along Muckalee Creek. | 31.63566400, -84.13379600 | 61 | Plants are growing in part-shade to shade of well-drained to drier understory conditions of a mixed evergreen and deciduous woodland, approximately 2 meters above Muckalee Creek, on sandy benches where occasional scouring has resulted in lower competition. Plants are occasionally impacted by flooding; however, they are not subjected to extended periods of high moisture on a regular basis.
Soils: The underlying geology of this area is of Eocene origin and characterized as Ocala Limestone. The Ocala Limestone consists of almost pure limestones with occasional dolomites. It can be subdivided into both lower and upper facies with the lower facies composed of a whitish to cream-colored, fine to medium grained, poorly to moderately hard, fossil rich grainstone and packstone. The upper Ocala is white and somewhat weak and poorly sorted. It is extremely fossil rich grainstone, packstone and wackestone and some chert is common in the upper facies.
