Marsh Grass

Exotic plant species in Florida wetlands spread rapidly due to floods, large waterway systems, and extensive traffic of commercial and recreational boats. Fertilizer and sediment runoff from agricultural lands and waste water from beef and dairy operations may contribute to successful establishment of exotic aquatic plants. West Indian Marsh Grass, Hymenachne amplexicaulis (Rudge) Nees (Poaceae), is one of many species currently invading sensitive wetlands in central and south Florida. This document is ENY-693, one of a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

If you maintain St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) in Florida, its possible that gray leaf spot, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea (Pyricularia grisea), will be a problem in your lawn or sod field. Research has proven the effectiveness of amendments of silicon (Si) to soils that are deficient in soluble Si (<25 mg/L) for control of diseases on a number of hosts including rice and sugarcane, which are regularly fertilized with Si in south Florida.

Wetland Habitats

The American alligator once occupied all wetland habitats in south Florida, from sinkholes and ponds in pinelands to freshwater sloughs to mangrove estuaries. Nearly all aquatic life in the Everglades is affected by alligators (Beard, 1938). As a top predator in their ecosystem, they undergo an extraordinary change in body size and consume different prey items as they grow. As ecosystem engineers, the trails and holes that alligators build provide refuge for wading birds and fish during the dry season, and their nests provide elevated areas for nests of other reptiles and germination of plants less tolerant of flooding. This document is Cir 1478, one of a series of the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Department, University of Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

A previous publication, ENH854 (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/EP107), listed over 350 native and non-native plant species for south Florida. This new publication was developed as a supplement to ENH854, but it is also a good stand-alone reference for people wishing to add native plants to their private yards or public landscapes, or simply to learn more about them. This document is ENH 875, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The Tropics

For years, people have come to south Florida to escape the cold weather and enjoy the subtropical climate. With this migration, horticulturists and amateur plant enthusiasts have introduced many species of exotic plants from the tropics, attempting to create their own tropical oases. While most of these plants either quickly perish or never spread outside of the backyard, a few escape and spread to adjoining natural and semi-disturbed areas and create persistent self-perpetuating populations. These plants are called invasive, and they can wreak havoc in the environments of their adopted home. Arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum) is one of these destructive invaders. This document is ENY-715, one of a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Fact Sheet

Due to Florida's prominence in the exotic pet trade, iguanas imported as pets have escaped or been released, and are now established in South Florida. This has created unique problems for Florida's homeowners and businesses. South and Central Florida's subtropical climate allows these large herbivorous (plant-eating) lizards to survive, reproduce, and become part of the Florida environment. This document is Fact Sheet ENY-714, a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Atlantic St. Johnswort is a herbaceous or semi-woody plant with a decumbent growth habit, spreading from the base and forming a low mat (Bell and Taylor 1982). This plant is a candidate for beach projects requiring planting of interdunal areas and secondary dunes as well as for commercial or home landscapes. Flowers occur from June to September, are terminal and axillary, and may be solitary or in small clusters called cymules or dichasia. Each flower is 1 to 2 cm (0.39 to 0.79 in) in diameter with 5 clear yellow petals (Radford et al. 1983). Atlantic St. Johnswort occurs in sandy woods, scrub, and coastal dunes from south Florida to the Carolinas. This document is Fact Sheet ENH 972, from the Environmental Horticulture Department and the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
