Sweet | Florida, United States | NA | | | 2023 | COLLECTED | 12/06/2023 | Blackwater State Forest: plants are growing in wetlands accessed by foot from Buddy Hardy Road. The collection site is approximately 0.14 kilometers west and downhill from the road. | 30.80736700, -86.95784700 | 53 | Growing in shade to part-shade of the well-drained moist mesic habitat about 1 m above the wetland which appears to be formed by a nearby hillside seepage area. In this zone there are numerous facultative wetland species as well as high competition from facultative upland plants. Slope: 5 to 10 percent. Aspect: Variable. The underlying geology of this area is the Citronelle Formation of Pliocene origin and consists of gray to orange, often mottled, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, very fine to very coarse, poorly sorted, clean to clayey sands. It contains significant amounts of clay, silt and gravel which may occur as beds and lenses and may vary considerably over short distances. Limonite nodules and limonite-cemented beds are common. (Source: USGS Florida Geologic Map Data.) The Troup Series (5 to 8% slopes) consists of very deep, somewhat excessively drained soil formed in unconsolidated sandy and loamy marine sediments. Troup soils are on ridges and hillslopes. The upper 0-13 cm is comprised primarily of decomposing sphagnum peat with a significant amount of fibrous root content. From 15-112 cm the soil is comprised primarily of fine-grained yellowish-brown sand with varying amounts of root content; this zone is strongly acid. From 112-203 cm the soil is comprised of light-red to red sandy clay loam that is discontinuous, generally friable, and strongly acid.

The surface soil profile found in this area is primarily Troup Series. These soils are sandy and loamy marine deposits. They are well drained and typically on the tops and sides of broad and narrow ridges on uplands typically with 0-12% slopes. These soils are very strongly acid with a depth of 2-3 meters. Pactolus Series soils comprise a minor, but important percentage of the lower slopes that are nearly level to gently sloping and account for the somewhat poorly drained, yet, sandy conditions. These soils are also strongly acid with very dark gray loamy sands.

Britton ex Sarg. | Florida, United States | NA | | | 2022 | COLLECTED | 07/28/2022 | Growing along Boiling Creek tributary of the Yellow River and reached by boat. | 30.57867600, -86.88701400 | 2 | Trees are typically found growing in part to full sun in permanently saturated to submersed conditions along the edge of the Boiling Creek, a slow-moving fresh water creek. Trees are growing in association with a wide array of deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs and perennial plant species. This species requires acidic conditions. The underlying geology of this area is classified as Alluvium, of Pleistocene/Holocene origin and consists of undifferentiated Quaternary sediments of varying thickness including siliciclastics, organics and freshwater carbonates. 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. 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. | Wild material | | 2138697 | WLP 2587 |
