Virginia Saltmarsh Mallow at Seminole Ranch

[frank]

This Virginia Saltmarsh Mallow (Kosteletz pentacarpos) was found, today, at Seminole Ranch. It was the first time I have ever seen this particular species though it is reported to be common. The Scarlet rose-mallow (Hibiscus coccineus) was found at Tosohatchee last week.  The marsh areas adjacent to SR50 and SR520 are loaded with the Swamp Rosemallow (Hibiscus grandiflorus).
