Notes

Abstract:
This report is intended to bring together information concerning the rare species in the flora of South Florida National Park Service areas. This information is important to fulfill the following purposes: 1) to provide an adequate background for management of the resources of South Florida parks by the National Park Service, particularly for prograrns of fire management and backcountry management; (2) to summarize our current knowledge as a means of stimulating observations of others on distribution and ecology of rare plants of the area; 3) to identify species for which populations should be monitored to assess changes resulting from fire management or other causes; and 4) to assist South Florida-wide efforts in botanical preservation (i.e., to identify which species do or do not receive secure protection within NPS areas). The preliminary nature of the report should be emphasized. It is intended to provide an account of our current state of knowledge with the hope that it will stimulate others to contribute ideas and information needed to allow a comprehensive analysis.
