| Ilex Species Ilex glabra Gallberry Gallberry is a persistent shrub that is commonly found in acidic soil, especially sandy wetlands and swamps. It is frequently the most abundant shrub in flatwood forests of the Lower Coastal Plain. Gallberry is found in most of the southeast, between Florida and Louisiana in the south, to Maine and Nova Scotia in the north. It reproduces abundantly by both seed and sprouting following a disturbance such as fire. | Plants | (PlantFiles) |

| Gopher Apple Licania michauxii Gopher Apple Technically a shrub, gopher apple looks more like a bunch of oak seedlings or some kind of weird leather-fern ground cover. It grows with an extensive maze of underground stems that send up slender woody shoots with evergreen oaklike leaves. The leaves are stiff, simple, alternate, elliptic, and about 2-4 inches long and 1 inch wide. The leaves rise only about a foot or so above ground, but a single clonal plant can easily spread its subterranean stems and branches over more than 100 square feet. The flowers don't look anything like oak catkins. They are small, yellowish, and clustered in 4 inch triangular shaped terminal cymes that stand a little above the leaves. The fruits are green at first, turning dirty white when ripe, and about an inch long. Ripe fruits are edible and soft, and taste to me like the old fashioned pink bubblegum that used to come with baseball cards. | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |

| Nuphar Species Nuphar luteum Spadderdock, Cow Lily , Yellow Pond Lily Spadderdock is found in ponds and swamps throughout Florida. This plant thrives in shallow water bodies, particularly those having substrates of organic mud or silt. While stands of spadderdock provide excellent habitat for fish and other aquatic life, extensive growths of this plant can seriously impede recreational use of a pond. Spadderdock is a rooted aquatic species possessing large, heart shaped leaves 8 to10 inches long and 5 to 8 inches wide supported by a long, fleshy stem. The leaves may be floating but more often grow well above the surface. Mature plants develop large rootstocks which give rise to numerous other plants. Throughout the summer months, spadderdock produces solitary, yellow flowers, 1 to 2 inches in diameter. The petals are clustered and do not open widely, giving the flower a ball-like appearance. Spadderdock is often mistaken for water lily but can easily be distinguished by its emergent leaves and absence of a showy, white flower common to water lily. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |

| Nymphaea Species Nymphaea odorata The white water lily is a perennial plant that often form dense colonies. The leaves arise on flexible stalks from large thick rhizomes. The leaves are more round than heart-shaped, bright green, 6 to 12 inches in diameter with the slit about 1/3 the length of the leaf. Leaves usually float on the water's surface. Flowers arise on separate stalks, have brilliant white petals (25 or more per flower) with yellow centers. The flowers may float or stick above the water and each opens in the morning and closes in the afternoon. The flowers are very fragrant. White water lily can spread from seeds or the rhizomes. Submerged portions of all aquatic plants provide habitats for many micro and macro invertebrates. These invertebrates in turn are used as food by fish and other wildlife species (e.g. amphibians, reptiles, ducks, etc). After aquatic plants die, their decompostion by bacteria and fungi provides food (called "detritus") for many aquatic invertebrates. Deer, beaver, muskrat, nutria and other rodents will consume the leaves and rhizomes of white water lily, while the seeds are eaten by ducks. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |

| Pontederia Species Pontederia cordata Pickerel Weed This native, eastern American aquatic plant is well adapted to Florida habitat. It can be found in the wild from Nova Scotia through the entire state of Florida in shallow wetland areas around the edges of ponds and lakes. It grows in water no more than about 12 inches deep. Foliage emerges each spring from below the water surface and stands several feet above the water surface. Beautiful purple-blue flower spikes follow several weeks later and are held slightly above the foliage. Pickerel weed is a vigorous, deciduous, emergent marginal aquatic perennial that typically grows 2-4’ tall. It is native to quiet waters at stream and pond margins from Nova Scotia south to Florida and Texas. Plants flower freely from June to October. Our plants are from a stand that is growing in excess of 4'tall. If you want to keep them smaller, as well as keeping them from spreading further than you like, it is best to plant them in containers (rich organic loams) in a water garden under 3-5” of water. Outside of containers, rhizomes can spread rapidly to form colonies under optimum growing conditions. Needs full sun for best flowering Young washed leafstalks can be eaten raw in salads or boiled as a potherb. Fruits also contain a single solid seed that is edible raw or can be dried and added to granola cereals or ground like grain. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
