Final Report 10/10/2012 Key West Botanical Garden EPAC grant: An Integrated Plan for the Conservation of Endangered Plant Species In the Florida Keys Yucatan Flymallow (Cienfuegosia yucatanensis). Photo by S. Hodges Submitted by: The Key West Botanical Garden and Stephen Hodges, contract botanist Submitted to: Bryan Benson, Endangered Plant Advisory Council (EPAC) Division of Plant Industry Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services th 1911 S.W. 34 Street Gainesville, FL 32614-7100 Key West Garden EPAC grant: An Integrated Plan for the Conservation of Endangered Plant Species in the Florida Keys Introduction This document serves as the final report for the 2011-2012 period of the EPAC grant awarded to the Key West Botanical Garden Society (KWBGS). Since the beginning of this funding cycle, concrete achievements have been made within the conservation program of the KWBG. In November of this 2011, an agreement was reached to contract Stephen Hodges, former resident botanist of KWBG, to coordinate and implement the remaining goals of the conservation program for this funding cycle. These activities were conducted under the supervision of the conservation committee of the KWBG, which is headed by Mary Chandler, current president of the board of the KWBGS. Early on it was decided that a strategic planning session was needed to provide direction for the conservation program and to assess the methodology and goals of the EPAC and FDACS programs. We met on November 21, 2011 to discuss and plan, members present were: Stephen Hodges, contract botanist, Mary Chandler, Treasurer (now President) of the Society, Rick Harty, President (now Treasurer) of the Society, Susie Reutling, Nursery Manager, Beryn Harty, Collection committee and Misha McRae, General Manager. As a result of this planning session, criteria were adopted to confine our target species to a narrower scope. As a result, we assessed our list of target species, and deemphasized those taxa as follows: 1) Taxa such as Pilosocereus robinii, that are currently being studied by other institutions. Although we continue to be interested in establishing accessions of some of these species at the garden, we will not be pursuing any active research with taxa currently involved in active research programs at other institutions. If our assistance is requested by those institutions we would be most happy to participate. . 2) Species that: a.) we deemed to be very difficult to cultivate b.) that were critically rare in the wild and where collection of propagation material might have detrimental effects c.) we viewed to have limited value in our ex-situ collection. A number of the species originally on our target list were included because they were state or federally listed within the Florida Keys. Although we recognize the importance of continued study of these species, in these cases we felt that we were not currently in a position to provide a meaningful basis and/or required resources for their inclusion in our conservation cultivation program. Examples of taxa that fell into this category are members of the Chamaesyce genus that are listed in the Florida Keys. There is little information on propagating these species, many are diminutive and potentially easily confused with common weeds by volunteers, and are of questionable value in demonstration plantings at KWBG or in out-plantings within their natural habitats. Other small pine rockland herbs were also removed as immediate targets for inclusion based on this criteria. Once again, we will not currently be actively pursuing propagation of these species, although we remain open to potentially meaningful partnerships if those situations arise within a broader multi-institutional framework. 3) An overall de-emphasis of those plant taxa whose primary or sole occurrence is on Big Pine Key. This category includes many listed plant taxa, some of which remain potentially meaningful for us to cultivate. However, we recognize that many fiscal and research resources are currently focused on this location, along with the pine rockland habitat within the Florida Keys. In some cases, such as monitoring surveys for Linum arenicola in the Key Deer Refuge on Upper Sugarloaf Key, KWBG still has a valuable role to play. The conservation committee will consider inclusion of taxa that may occur on Big Pine Key on a case by case basis. Simply stated, KWBG is trying not to duplicate other efforts, especially those that may be able to be conducted more thoroughly by other research programs with greater fiscal resources and institutional capacity than KWBG. More importantly, we are seeking to work with taxa that may not be currently focused on by other institutions and that fit our current capacity. As a result of this assessment the conservation committee of KWBG prioritized the following: 1) Continued curating of endangered and threatened plant taxa already within the conservation program, regardless of the above considerations. 2) Collection of seed, propagation and curating of appropriate germplasm of threatened and endangered plant taxa not yet included in the program, particularly those occurring in the Keys cactus barren habitat of the Florida Keys. An additional aspect of this is conducting further research into this poorly understood ecosystem, and assisting with monitoring, mapping and broad conservation support of listed taxa that may occur within these sites. 3) Monitoring of other rare plant populations in the Florida Keys not currently being worked on by other institutions. 4) Establishing new partnerships with other institutions that further KWBG’s capacity to conduct meaningful conservation of rare plant taxa in the Florida Keys, particularly those that further the above goals or address the potential impacts of sea level rise in the Florida Keys and that do not conflict with the above considerations. At the conclusion of this process a plan was drawn up for discrete goals in the above focus areas for the remainder of the funding cycle. Concrete achievements have now been made in all of the above areas, and these are detailed in this report. Given that a greater emphasis was given to endangered plant taxa that occur in Florida Keys cactus barren habitat, a description of this habitat is included below. Keys Cactus Barren Habitat Keys cactus barren is a poorly understood and highly endangered habitat that occurs in the Florida Keys. According to FNAI “Keys cactus barren is an open, primarily herbaceous community with scattered shrubs on rocky areas of Key Largo limestone with little soil or leaf litter. It occupies larger areas several acres in extent, or may occur as small, scattered patches within the thorn scrub variant of rockland hammock.” FNAI states the following about the range of this habitat “Keys cactus barren is confined to the Florida Keys on limestone bedrock (Key Largo limestone) and is known from only six sites, four on the Upper Keys and two from the southern arm of Big Pine Key which is composed of Key Largo limestone (unlike the rest of Big Pine Key and the other Lower Keys, which are composed of Miami oolite).” (FNAI, 2010) Because of the paucity of sites in which it occurs, Keys cactus barren is likely the most endangered habitat in the Florida Keys. Furthermore, due to the lack of attention it has received over the years, in addition to the small and elusive nature of some of the cactus barren sites, certain parcels have gone unnoticed and only recently been acquired for conservation. The cactus barren habitat lacks a firm ecological description. In reality, these sites are defined by the rare plant taxa that can potentially occur within them. Beyond habitat descriptions by FNAI and IRC there seems to be no published data on underlying ecological drivers that allow this particular species assemblage to occur, or the natural disturbance events that maintain them. Of particular note, is the disparity in species distribution among cactus barren sites. Other rockland habitats are driven by a particular fire regime or the lack of fire. Cactus barren is a habitat that does not experience fire, but is probably maintained by flood events, either in the event of storm surge or periodic inundation by rain water. There are a number of important questions needing research into the underlying drivers of this habitat. Based on field observations by K. Bradley and S. Hodges, these habitats seem to occur in two different locations. The first of these are barrens that occur in small areas along ecotones between buttonwood dominated forests with salt tolerant herbs and rockland hammock occurring at slightly higher elevations. These ecotones are usually long, winding locations that are typically quite narrow in breadth. Frequently the elevational gradient can be seen at these sites, amounting to a gradual ledge of sorts, and the bare rock area along the ecotone harbors a unique species assemblage, including some cacti, particularly Opuntia stricta. Importantly, only very specific locations within these ecotones harbor the actual endangered cactus barren species assemblage. These are typically quite small in relation to the overall size of the ecotone, and may be driven by a more gradual elevational gradient. The Keys cactus barren sites on Lignumvitae Key and at Snake Creek Hammock are good examples of this type of Keys cactus barren. The other type of cactus barren occurs in flat areas, ranging in size from several acres to a couple of meters across. They may, and frequently do, have areas of small trees interspersed through them, along the sides of which some rare taxa, such as the federal candidate species propagated at KWBG, Chromolaena frustrata, seem to find their preferred habitat. The Valhalla cactus barren, the Long Key sites and the FDOT Lower Matecumbe parcel are all good examples of this type. Examples of these differences are shown in the figures below. Although ecotone sites seem to offer appropriate habitat for many of the rare taxa that might occur in this habitat, frequently, only a few listed species occur in the majority of eco-tone sites. For example, the Fat Deer Key harbors none of the truly endangered species that are in abundance at the Valhalla site, just slightly to the east. On the other hand, Indigofera mucronata var. keyensis, found in abundance at the Valhalla site is also found immediately to the north of U.S. 1 in somewhat disturbed conditions , as well as at potentially two small sites on Long Point Key. One was located by Ross and Ruiz in the late nineties (Ross and Ruiz 1996), and the other by Hodges and Fleites in 2005 (Hodges and Bradley, 2006). Similarly, on Lignumvitae Key, particularly rare taxa, such as I. mucronata var. keyensis are only found in a small area (highlighted with a yellow polygon in the figure) at the very western edge of the ecotone, and seem to be only rarely present, perhaps triggered by storm events. Figure 1: Eco-tone Cactus Rock Barren on Lignumvitae Key Figure 2: Flat Keys cactus barren on Crawl Key, Valhalla Coastal Rock Barren Site, Curry Hammock State Park Figure 3: Ecotonal Rock Barren on Fat Deer Key, Curry Hammock State Park, this ecotone seems to harbor very few of the taxa that might occur in the Keys Cactus Barren habitat. Figure 4: Flat cactus barren site on Lower Matecumbe, FDOT parcel There are obviously dynamics at work underpinning the unique species assemblage that can occur at these sites that are not currently understood. There may be very specific elevations at some of these locations, or other factors not recognized as of yet. In addition, there appear to be other differences between Keys cactus barren sites. Although it seems that the open nature of these locations is apparently driven by occasional flooding by sea water during extreme high tides, the site on the FDOT parcel located on Lower Matecumbe was observed this year inundated after a period of heavy rain. There may be a freshwater wetland affinity to some of these locations. See the photo below. Additionally, there is greater soil and litter buildup at the FDOT site. This particular location represents a very special opportunity to actually improve a cactus barren, along with offering unique research opportunities. To help support this process, the KWBG has entered into a license agreement with FDOT to allow us access to conduct research and support cleanup, restoration and monitoring of the site. Conservation of endangered plant taxa and additional ecological research of this habitat is greatly needed. Results of recent conservation efforts within the KWBG conservation program at propagating and monitoring some of these rare taxa are described within the remainder of the report. &KdƐŝƚĞĚƵƌŝŶŐƉĞƌŝŽĚŽĨĨƌĞƐŚǁĂƚĞƌŝŶƵŶĚĂƚŝŽŶĂĨƚĞƌƌĂŝŶ͕ƉůĂŶƚƐǁŝƚŚLJĞůůŽǁĨůŽǁĞƌƐŝŶĨƌŽŶƚĂƌĞ zƵĐĂƚĂŶ&ůLJŵĂůůŽǁ ĂĐƚƵƐĂƌƌĞŶ,ĂďŝƚĂƚ͕ZŽĐŬƐƵďƐƚƌĂƚĞĐůŽƐĞƵƉ͕sĂůŚĂůůĂĂĐƚƵƐĂƌƌĞŶ^ŝƚĞ ĂĐƚƵƐĂƌƌĞŶ,ĂďŝƚĂƚƐŚŽǁŝŶŐzƵĐĐĂĂůŽŝĨŽůŝĂ͕KƉƵŶƚŝĂƐƚƌŝĐƚĂ͕ĂŶĚĞdžƉŽƐĞĚƌŽĐŬƐƵďƐƚƌĂƚĞ͕ǁŝƚŚ ŚĂŵŵŽĐŬĞĚŐĞ͕ƌĂǁů<ĞLJ͕ƵƌƌLJ,ĂŵŵŽĐŬ^ƚĂƚĞWĂƌŬ Research Methodology All plant surveys, wild collection of seed, vouchering of specimens, mapping and monitoring of wild occurring plant populations, monitoring of Keys cactus barren habitat and reporting on the results of these efforts were conducted by S. Hodges between November 2011 and July 2012. Field notes were taken on each trip, along with photos or other supporting documentation. GPS positions were taken on a Garmin GPS unit for plants or seed collected or that were deemed of value in establishing population distributions in targeted areas. These points were imported into Google Earth to generate maps presented here. Voucher specimens were collected for plants where germplasm was collected for propagation. These will be deposited at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden herbarium (FTG). Permits were acquired from the different relevant land managers, and all research or collections were discussed with relevant parties when activities were going to take place. It should be noted that all species collected from Keys cactus barren sites were originally surveyed by S. Hodges while conducting research for the Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC), under a grant funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) (Hodges and Bradley, 2006). Work presented here is informed and supported by those surveys, and IRC’s Floristic Inventory of South Florida (FISF) online database was a valuable resource while conducting this work. All propagation was conducted by Susie Reutling at the KWBG plant nursery with consultation from S. Hodges. Soil initially used was a Fafard Larson custom mix. Currently the garden has shifted to using Jungle mix and 50/50 mix from Mama’s Landscaping for propagation. The Jungle mix is used for seed and cuttings, a mix of Jungle mix and 50/50 (equal parts) for transplants, 50/50 for potting and planting. The switch occurred on 7.1.2012, and so minimally impacts results reported here, but will be relevant to future propagation efforts. Seeds were initially planted in 1 gallon pots, with multiple seeds planted into communal pots. Experience has shown that seedlings are less likely to dry out when using communal pots rather than small individual containers in flats. Endangered plant species propagated or maintained by KWBG and covered by EPAC funding are now located within in screened storage units, approximately 5X5X5, with screen similar to mosquito netting. This is to prevent potential herbivory by iguanas. Results Five taxa were successfully collected and propagated at KWBG during the last grant period. These are Cienfuegosia mucronata, Evolvulus convolvuloides, Hibiscus poepiggii, Indigofera mucronata var. keyensis and Trema lamarckianum. Also conducted were surveys of populations of Caesalpinnia pauciflora and Linum arenicola in naturally occurring populations outside of Big Pine Key. KWBG also maintains endangered plant taxa that have been covered under prior EPAC funding cycles. These include Ageratum littoralis, Argythamnia blodgettii, Caesalpinnia pauciflora, Chromolaena frustrata and Cyperus floridanus. We have continued to attempt to propagate Strumpfia maritima but have had limited success with this species. All results are detailed in Attachment B. New results achieved within the last year of funding are detailed within the report below. Cienfuegosia yucatanensis Scientific Name: Cienfuegosia yucatanensis (Millsp.) Common Names: Yucatan Flymallow Family: Malvaceae Synonyms: No synonyms exist for this species State Status: Endangered Discussion C. yucatanensis was first collected in 1693 by C.F. Millspaugh in Yucatan, Mexico on stony arid soil (Tropicos 2012). It is known from the West Indies, Florida and Mexico in the Yucatan. Yucatan flymallow was first collected in the Florida Keys between 1838 and 1853 by John Loomis Blodgett on Lignumvitae Key. Subsequently it was collected over the years from Windley Key south to Key West, where it is currently extirpated. As of 2002 it was known from three conservation areas and two non-conservation areas (Gann, Bradley and Woodmansee, 2002). Several events have affected populations of Yucatan flymallow since 2002. Hurricane Wilma had a major impact on coastal cactus barren sites in the Upper and Middle Keys, where storm surge deposited large amounts of sediment into some of these sensitive habitats. A full assessment of the long term impacts on the distribution and population of this species in the Florida Keys is yet to be conducted. Development of the Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park support facility on Lower Matecumbe also had a detrimental effect on the population of Yucatan flymallow present there. In 2005, while conducting surveys for USFWS with IRC, Hodges observed a population and remnant coastal rock barren on DOT property across from the Lignumvitae Key site. The population there is estimated to be in excess of 500 plants, making it potentially the largest remaining population and an important location for this taxon. Currently, the FDOT is removing exotics on this parcel in preparation for transfer into a conservation site. This will be used as a mitigation parcel. Restoration at the site has the potential to greatly enhance coastal rock barren habitat there. Hodges has observed this population of C. yucatanensis several times in 2012. The species was also vouchered here (Hodges #192). Figure 1 shows the current population distribution at this site, and the photo below the figure shows Yucatan flymallow in habitat. Seed was collected in January and again in April of 2012. A total of approximately 148 seeds were collected from the DOT site. The initial collection in January was of approximately 30 seeds approximately 20 plants and another 118 from approximately 70 plants were collected in April. Seeds seemed to be molding in the dehisced seed pods, and so were dried prior to propagation. Germination was poor. 6 seeds were germinated from the initial collection and another 12 from the subsequent collection. Yucatan Flymallow propagated in the KWBG nursery Propagation and ex-situ curating of this taxon serves several benefits. The plant has been extirpated from several islands where it has been observed over the last 150 years. Thus, out-planting this species where appropriate may re-establish long lost populations. Key West being among these locations, KWBG is an ideal site to reestablish this species. Furthermore, because other populations of this species have been heavily impacted in recent years, population augmentation may prove to be valuable after further study. Figure 5: Population distribution of C. yucatanensis on Lower Matecumbe Key, FDOT parcel C. yucatanensis in habitat, Lower Matecumbe Key, FDOT parcel Evolvulus convolvuloides Scientific name: Evolvulus convolvuloides (Willd. ex Schult.) Stearn Common names:Bindweed dwarf morningglory, Dwarf bindweed Family: Convolulaceae Synonyms͗Evolvulus glaber, Evolvulus glabriusculus, Evolvulus mucronatus, Nama convolvuloides State Status: Not listed in Florida Discussion E. convolvuloides is considered imperiled by IRC and is an important, defining component of the rare Keys cactus barren habitat. Therefore, although not listed by the state of Florida, it warranted inclusion in our conservation program. Furthermore, because several other members of the genus Evolvulus are state listed in Florida, including some with narrow distributions in the Florida Keys, it is a good surrogate for other taxa that may be candidates for cultivation in the future. It is known from Florida, the Caribbean Basin, Central America, Mexico and South America. To our knowledge, it had not been cultivated prior to current propagation at KWBG. Bindweed dwarf morningglory is known from 8 conservation areas in the Florida Keys. It has also been recorded in Miami-Dade county and mainland Monroe County. It is known from Keys cactus barren, coastal berm and disturbed upland sites (Gann Bradley and Woodmansee, 2002). A total of 29 seeds were collected from 20 plants at the FDOT site on Lower Matecumbe in January 2012. Total population is estimated to between 500 and 1000 plants at the site. A voucher specimen was also collected by S. Hodges at this time (Hodges 193). Ten seeds were initially planted in January with a 40% germination rate. Germination took approximately 1 month. Additional seed was planted in May, from which only one plant germinated. To prevent iguana predation, plants were moved into a small screened in enclosure. E. convolvuloides shares the same population distribution as C. yucatanensis at the FDOT site on Lower Matecumbe. Hibiscus poeppigii Photo by R. Hammer Scientific name: Hibiscus poeppigii (Spreng.) Garcke Common names: Poeppig’s rosemallow Plant Family: Malvaceae State Status: Endangered Synonyms: Achania floridana, Achania poeppigii, Hibiscus floridanus, Malache poeppigii, Malvaviscus floridanus Discussion H. poeppigii is known from Florida, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico and Guatemala. It is considered imperiled by IRC. In Florida it has been recorded in Collier, Miami-Dade, Monroe county mainland and the Florida Keys. It has been recorded in Keys cactus barren and rockland hammock (Gann, Bradley and Woodmansee, 2006). It is included here as a further component of the Keys cactus barren. S. Hodges observed this species at Snake Creek Hammock on Plantation Key in January 7, 2012. At this time, approximately 20 seeds were collected from 3 plants with a total of 3 dehisced fruit collected. It was also vouchered at this time (Hodges 191). It was found occurring with I. mucronata var. keyensis, where the two taxa were actually observed twining around each other on several occasions. It seems to prefer slightly shaded or sunny areas in small gaps along the ecotone edge. Cordia globosa was also observed at the site. This species, although common in cultivation, is rare in the wild. The majority of plants were observed growing under buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus) or along the rockland hammock edge. Seeds were sown with little success, however after approximately 3 months, three seedlings finally germinated. These continue to grow and are now housed in a screened enclosure to prevent predation by iguanas. Figure 6 shows the population distribution and collection points of H. poeppigii along with I. mucronata var. keyensis at Snake Creek Hammock. Poeppig’s Rosemallow propagated in the KWBG nursery Figure 6: H. poeppigii locations, along with I. mucronata var. keyensis and Cordia globosa Indigofera mucronata var. keyensis Scientific name: Indigofera mucronata Spreng. ex DC. var. keyensis (Small) Isley Common names: Florida Keys Indigo Family: Fabaceae Synonyms: Indigofera jamaicensis, Indigofera keyensis, Indigofera mucronata, Indigofera trita L.f. subsp. scabra State Listing: Endangered Discussion Up until recently considered an endemic federal candidate species, I. mucronata var. keyensis is now treated as a synonym of I. trita subsp. scabra by Wunderlin and Hansen (Wunderlin and Hansen, 2003). The study published by de Kort and Thijsse in 1984 placed this as a synonym of I. trita which seems to have an exceptionally broad and unusual distribution including Madagascar, Africa including South Africa and New Guinea (de Kort and Thijsee 1984). As such, and considering its rare and restricted range in the Florida Keys, we have continued to treat this under its former name and have included it in our conservation program. It is possible that genetic analysis of material may be warranted in this case to help supply a definitive answer. Either way, the species remains a rare component of our flora. Florida Keys indigo was collected by A.W. Chapman (s.n. US) probably on Marco Island in the 1800’s, it was also collected by A.P. Garber (s.n. US) in 1877 at “Miami”. These are the only known collections outside of the Florida Keys. There it was apparently first collected on Lignumvitae Key by John Loomis Blodgett sometime between 1838 and 1853. This was the only known observation of the taxa on Lignumvitae Key despite repeated surveys by numerous botanists until it was found and vouchered by Hodges in 2005, some 150 years later. It is currently known from 11 locations in the Florida Keys, some of which are on the same islands. For a more thorough discussion of the history and locations in 2005 see Hodges and Bradley 2006. Indigofera mucronata var. keyensis fruit detail showing curved tip. Florida Keys Indigo was observed in two locations for this study. In January of 2012 seed was collected by S. Hodges in cactus barren habitat in Snake Creek Hammock on Plantation Key. Figure 7 shows the current population distribution at Snake Creek Hammock. At this time 25 seeds were collected from approximately 15 plants. Seed was propagated shortly after, with a germination rate of 50%. On the same date, Florida Keys Indigo was observed, and collected at the FDOT site on Lower Matecumbe Key where another 25 seeds were collected. Seed was planted with a germination rate of 50%. A total of 30 plants were germinated from these two sites. da Florida Key’s Indigo propagated in the KWBG nursery A voucher specimen was also collected by S. Hodges (Hodges 194) at the FDOT site at this time. To our knowledge, this species has not been cultivated prior to this effort. A further visit to the FDOT site mapped the population at the FDOT site which is shown in Figure 8. &ŝŐƵƌĞϳ͗ŝƐƚƌŝďƵƚŝŽŶŽĨ/͘ŵƵĐƌŽŶĂƚĂǀĂƌ͘ŬĞLJĞŶƐŝƐĂƚ^ŶĂŬĞƌĞĞŬ,ĂŵŵŽĐŬƐ͕WůĂŶƚĂƚŝŽŶ<ĞLJ &ŝŐƵƌĞϴ͗ŝƐƚƌŝďƵƚŝŽŶŽĨ/͘ŵƵĐƌŽŶĂƚĂǀĂƌ͘ŬĞLJĞŶƐŝƐŽŶ>ŽǁĞƌDĂƚĞĐƵŵďĞ͕&KdƐŝƚĞ Trema lamarckianum WŚŽƚŽďLJ^͘ĞŶƚŽŶ Scientific Name: Trema lamarckianum (Schult.) Blume Common Names: West Indian trema, Pain-in-the-back Family: Ulmaceae Synonyms: Celtis lamarckiana, Celtis lima, Sponia lamarckiana State Listing: Endangered Discussion T. lamarckianum occurs in S. Florida and the West Indies. In Florida it is known from Collier, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. It is included here for two primary reasons. First is that KWBG maintains an excellent and substantial collection of the native trees of the Florida Keys. This being one that was not present in the collection, it represented an ideal candidate for inclusion in the program. In addition and more importantly from a conservation standpoint, T. lamarckianum seemed to represent a species that might prove resistant to the spiraling white fly invasion that has occurred in the Florida Keys. Based on personal observation, the Lower Keys seemed to be the hardest hit of the areas in Florida where this pest has arisen. KWBG was impacted by a large infestation that seemed to include virtually every native tree present. Because of the importance of this site for migrating birds, we hoped that this species might provide a much needed added food source for migrating birds. Due to the rapid growth rate and successional nature of Trema species in Florida, we surmised that it might be a relatively rapid replacement for trees that might be potentially lost due to whitefly impact. Finally, the species seems highly salt tolerant, which makes it a further good candidate for the Lower Keys. This species was collected in November by S. Hodges on Florida Power and Light property near Turkey Point. Approximately 100 seeds were collected from 2 trees. Based on a literature search of research done in Africa, where another species of Trema is cultivated for firewood, we soaked seed in a gibberellin acid solution. Seed that had been soaked for 5 hours yielded a 50% germination rate as opposed to those without the treatment where only 1 germinated. This species has been a success in cultivation and numerous individuals are now growing in the KWBG nursery. tĞƐƚ/ŶĚŝĂŶdƌĞŵĂŝŶƚŚĞ<t'ŐĂƌĚĞŶ Linum arenicola Photo by K. Bradley Scientific Name: Linum arenicola (Small) Winkl. Common Names: Sand Flax Family: Linaceae Synonyms: Cathartolinum arenicola State Status: Endangered Federal Status: Candidate Discussion L. arenicola is endemic to S. Florida in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. It has a poorly understood life history, and given its diminutive size, can be difficult to spot in the field. Populations in the Florida Keys are known currently known from 3 islands. These are Big Pine Key, Upper Sugarloaf Key at the Key Deer Refuge and Lower Sugarloaf Key adjacent to a Florida Keys Environmental Lands parcel. Formerly, two other populations were known on Middle Torch and Big Torch Keys. These were seen by Hodges as recently as 2005, however despite repeated surveys in the intervening years, have not been relocated. The Upper Sugarloaf Key population was discovered by Steve Woodmansee in (2009). It was originally mapped by S. Hodges for a separate grant awarded by the Florida Native Plant Society in 2010. The Big Pine Key population continues to be surveyed by K. Bradley of IRC among others, and therefore we have not attempted to map this occurrence. Additionally, the Big Pine Key population requires extensive surveys using a grid plot system that covers the substantial potential habitat on Big Pine Key. The other two extant populations are not currently being surveyed by any other institutions, and are therefore included here. Data presented here represents a survey and population estimate for two of the three remaining Florida Keys populations. Both of these occur on road sides adjacent to natural areas. The Lower Sugarloaf Key is by far the largest, with an estimated population of around 1000 plants. The diminutive size, and grass like appearance of L. arenicola make actual counts extremely difficult, and it can frequently be almost impossible to locate if not in flower. The photo below, facing north, shows the habitat of sand flax on Lower Sugarloaf Key. Figures 8 and 9 show the distribution of these populations. The population on Upper Sugarloaf Key, Figures 6 and 7, is much smaller, representing approximately 200 individuals. ,ĂďŝƚĂƚŽĨ>͘ĂƌĞŶŝĐŽůĂŽŶ>ŽǁĞƌ^ƵŐĂƌůŽĂĨ<ĞLJ &ŝŐƵƌĞϵ͗^ƵƌǀĞLJƐĨŽƌ>͘ĂƌĞŶŝĐŽůĂŽŶhƉƉĞƌ^ƵŐĂƌůŽĂĨ<ĞLJ͕EĂƚŝŽŶĂů<ĞLJĞĞƌZĞĨƵŐĞ &ŝŐƵƌĞϭϬ͗DĂƉƉĞĚƉŽƉƵůĂƚŝŽŶƐŽĨ>͘ĂƌĞŶŝĐŽůĂŽŶhƉƉĞƌ^ƵŐĂƌůŽĂĨ<ĞLJ &ŝŐƵƌĞϭϭ͗^ƵƌǀĞLJƐŽĨ>͘ĂƌĞŶŝĐŽůĂŽŶ>ŽǁĞƌ^ƵŐĂƌůŽĂĨ<ĞLJ͕&ůŽƌŝĚĂ<ĞLJƐŶǀŝƌŽŶŵĞŶƚĂů>ĂŶĚƐ &ŝŐƵƌĞϭϮ͗DĂƉƉĞĚƉŽƉƵůĂƚŝŽŶƐŽĨ>͘ĂƌĞŶŝĐŽůĂŽŶ>ŽǁĞƌ^ƵŐĂƌůŽĂĨ<ĞLJ Caesalpinnia pauciflora Scientific Name: Caesalpinia pauciflora (Griseb.) C. Wright Common Names: Fewflower holdback Family: Fabaceae Synonyms: Libidibia pauciflora, Poinciana pauciflora State Listing: Endangered Discussion C. pauciflora is native to S. Florida and the West Indies (Gann, Bradley and Woodmansee, 2002). In Florida it is known only from the Lower Keys, where the primary population occurs on Big Pine Key. Seed was collected from plants near Watson Hammock on Big Pine Key during October, 2010 of the prior funding cycle awarded by EPAC. KWBG maintains 7 individuals, which have shown considerable growth during the prior year. Trials are now underway using a variety of methods to assess the viability of cuttings from this rare Florida Keys species. Additionally, surveys were conducted on Cudjoe Key at the National Key Deer Refuge in May 26, 2012 to assess the population of C. pauciflora present there. The species seems to primarily occur on cleared fire breaks in this portion of the Key Deer preserve, probably because of an affinity for more open areas which would be generated during fire events. The population on Cudjoe is estimated to be in excess of 500 individuals. Figure 9 represents the distribution along fire breaks in the Cudjoe Key area of the National Key Deer Refuge. It is entirely possible that this species is in other areas of this pineland, however the dense nature of the area, along with the heavy prevalence of poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum) make extensive surveys in this area difficult. Figure 13: C. pauciflora population distribution on Cudjoe Key, National Key Deer Refuge Fewflower Holdback in propagation at the KWBG nursery Conclusions The Key West Botanical Garden has administered a cohesive and productive conservation program over the prior grant funding cycle. Numerous future possibilities exist for further contribution, particularly with regards to the support of the conservation and research of the highly endangered Keys cactus barren habitat and the numerous listed plant taxa within it. To further this goal, the KWBGS has entered into a license agreement with the FDOT to support their efforts at restoring and ultimately transferring an important Keys cactus barren site into conservation status. KWBG has begun to mobilize volunteers to help with trash pickup, monitoring of rare plant populations at the site, and to donate endangered plant taxa currently in cultivation at KWBG that may either not be present at the site or may be in need of population augmentation. These activities will continue to occur over the next year, despite the lack of EPAC funding. In addition to this, KWBG has maintained a robust conservation program focused on plant taxa not currently being addressed by other institutions. We are providing an important contribution on a number of fronts that aid in the monitoring, research, propagation, public education and curating of endangered plant taxa in the Florida Keys. We are also highly cognizant of the impending potential effects of sea level rise in the Florida Keys. In order to help address potentially devastating impacts, we have recently entered into conversations with members of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden to begin collaborative widespread and comprehensive collection of endangered Florida Keys plant germplasm. The intention is to deposit this germplasm at the National Germplasm facility in Colorado. This would involve a widespread, grassroots based effort that is ideally supported by KWBG. Although small, the KWBG has a robust volunteer base and is ideally located in the Lower Keys, and as such we are in the perfect position to support an effort to begin broad scale preservation of the unique plant germplasm of the Florida Keys. Finally, our numerous successes in the propagation, curating, education and research of the rare plants of the Florida Keys points to the fact that this important conservation program will only continue to grow with continued future support.
