Seen on a field trip organized by Steve Woodmansee as part of the Dade Native Plant Workshop. We inventoried a large lot owned by Christ the King Catholic Church. The lot was formerly pine rockland and still contains an impressive amount of pine rockland plant species. It was essentially just missing the pines! The church regularly mows the lot, which probably helps keep the invasives away and doesn't bother the pineland species too much.
