27 - Pineland Allamanda
|
Another tropical herb found throughout the Rocky Pinelands is the pineland allamanda (Angadenia berteroi). Blooming year round, its yellow flowers are conspicuous in the undergrowth. Despite its local abundance, it is a state-listed threated species in Florida due to its small range. The allamanda’s sap is a mild poison, causing irritation of the eyes as well as a mild skin rash in sensitive individuals.
Long Pine Key, Everglades National Park, Florida.
