Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora of Miami: Being Descriptions of the Seed-Plants Growing Naturally on the Everglade Keys and in the Adjacent Everglades Southern Peninsular Florida This handbook contains descriptions of the seed-plants growing naturally in the Miami Limestone Region. This area consists of a chain of limestone islands enclosed by the southern portion of the Everglades, except where some of the islands come in contact with the upper half of Bay Biscayne. The chain stretches, in crescent form, from somewhat north of the Miami River southwestward toward Cape Sable for a distance of about fifty-five miles. The islands, apparently, in ancient times formed a part of the Antilles. Their native vegetation is essentially of a tropical character, with strong relationships to the flora of Cuba and of the Bahamas. As far as the native flora is concerned the Everglade Keys represent a small tropical area isolated on the mainland of the United States. The vegetation of the islands themselves is divided into two rather distinct plant-associations, namely, pineland and hammock, which are usually sharply differentiated from each other. These in turn are both rather abruptly marked off from the adjacent Everglades. With few exceptions the individual plant-species are distributed generally over the area under consideration. However, they are, in the majority of eases, confined to the one or the other of the plant-associations; consequently, on the following pages the local distribution of the species is indicated as "Pinelands," "Hammocks," "Everglades." In addition to the area already described, two minor elements are included in our geographical range, the coastal sand-dunes of the narrow peninsula opposite Miami and also those of Virginia Key and Key Biscayne and the waters of Bay Biscayne itself. As the plant-life of the Everglade Keys is closely related to that of the Florida Keys, when a species is common to both, the fact is indicated in this flora by "F.K." (Florida Keys) following the habitat. The relationship of the plant-species of the Miami flora to the flora of the West Indies is also indicated; if a species grows on one or more of the West Indian islands, it is indicated by "Ber." (Bermuda), "Bah." (Bahamas), "Cuba," and if it also occurs in other parts of the West Indies it is indicated by "Ant." (Antilles).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the southernmost region of the Florida peninsula was seen by outsiders as wild and inaccessible, one of the last frontiers in the quest to understand and reveal the natural history of the continent. Seeking the American Tropics tells the stories of the explorers and adventurers who—for better and for worse—helped open the unique environment of South Florida to the world. Beginning with the arrival of Juan Ponce de León in 1513, James Kushlan describes how most of the famous Spanish explorers never made it to South Florida, leaving the area’s rich natural history out of scientific records for the next 250 years. It wasn’t until the British colonial and early American periods that the first surveyors were commissioned and the first naturalists—Titian Peale and John James Audubon—arrived to collect, draw, and report the subtropical flora and fauna that were so unique to North America. Moving into the railroad era, Kushlan illuminates the activities of scientists such as Henry Nehrling and Charles Torrey Simpson alongside the dabbling of wealthy amateur naturalists. He follows the story to the 1920s, when tourism was flourishing and signs of ecological damage were starting to show. Years of wildlife trade, resource extraction, invasive species introduction, and swamp drainage had taken their toll. And many of the naturalists who had been outspoken about protecting South Florida’s environment had also played a part in its destruction. Today the region is among one of the most thoroughly studied places on the planet—but at a cost. In this absorbing and cautionary tale, Kushlan illustrates how exploration has so often trumped conservation throughout history. He exposes how much of the natural world we have already lost in this vivid portrait of the Florida of yesterday.
