If you will send an email to broe.1@osu.edu to let them know that you can guide them toward some of these interesting plants, I'm sure they'd be most appreciative.

I photographed a "fairy ring" of deep pink Indian-pipe in Seminole State Forest in early November. It was along the Florida Trail about 2.5 miles south of the Cassia (northern) trailhead off SR 44.<br /><br />Here's the image. I have a close-up, too, if you need it. http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/388068_10150437267823962_702143961_8555306_849844655_n.jpgSandra Friendhttp://www.floridahikes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189043384158652063.post-68308148327674792262011-11-18T10:38:08.803-05:002011-11-18T10:38:08.803-05:00For the habitat in that region, I don't think ...For the habitat in that region, I don't think I can do better than quote the botanist John Small, who originally suggested that the southern Indian-pipe is a distinct species:<br /><br />"We happened on an area of scrub south of the Sebastian River, with a remarkably prolific plant covering. Westward from the lagoon, there was often a mixed growth of spruce-pine (Pinus clausa) and live-oak (Quercus virginiana) instead of the normal scrub-association. The ground was covered with a carpet of dead pine-needles. However, this carpet was often hidden beneath a quite astonishing growth of lichens... including reindeer-moss. The growth was so dense that nearly all herbaceous growth was smothered, except the southern Indian-pipe (Monotropa britonii), which pushed through as individuals or as colonies, with its cream-colored or salmon nodding flowers and black dead-ripe erect capsules."<br /><br />There is a black and white photo, with the legend "On scrub ridge along Sebastian River where acres of the reindeer-mosses cover the white sand like snow. The woody growth consists of spruce-pine, saw-palmetto, and cabbage tree. A frequent associate of the reindeer-moss is Britton's Indian-pipe, which often pushes up through the lichen with stems over a foot tall."<br /><br />- Small, J. K.
