simonsr35Description
This small population of Chapman's rhododendron was started from seed collected at Camp Blanding in 1980 and planted out in 1981 as 10 plants. The plants have spread vegetatively over the past 40 years producing clonal patches that are doing well.

"We inventoried solely wild individuals, i.e., plants which - except in three cases - were deemed to have originated naturally within the study area. Exceptional, were Acacia choriophylla, Opuntia corallicola, and Phoradendron rubrum; those species, extirpated from Key Largo years ago, were introduced into the Park by previous workers. We call the introduced plants wild because they grew in natural habitats, because they were not being maintained artificially, because some were robust and many years old, and because the three species were formerly native to Key Largo."
"John K. Small (1930) reported O. corallicola from Key Largo, but thereafter the species was extirpated there. Subsequently, staff members of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden (particularly, Christopher Kernan), of the Florida Park Service (including Janice Duquesnel), and of other institutions collaborated to introduce plants of O. corallicola into the Park."
