FLORIDA AIRPLANT
**
This taxon has typically been treated as a hybrid of T. bartramii and T. fasciculata. Though those two species may be involved in the evolution of this taxon, T. floridana is here treated as a species given that it appears to be fecund and is found in counties where T. fasciculata is not known to occur (Citrus, Hernando, & Pasco Cos.; Luther 1985).
