Pe VEGETATION OF SOUTH FLORIDA 
Immokalee and nearby are several wild orange groves, which presumably 
occupy high hammock land. 
Long Key is a continuation of the oölitic limestone in a westward direc- 
tion from the rock outcrops along the east coast, extending some kilometers 
south of Detroit. It touches the Everglades, and hence it is referred to as 
Long Key, Everglades. Besides the pineland, which we have described 
previously, hammock-land is found surrounding the eastern end of this key, 
so dense as to be penetrated only by the aid of an ax. It extends for a con- 
siderable distance, according to Small,“ from the margin of the key, and instead 
of ending abruptly on a line where the growth of the pine trees begins, the 
hardwood trees of the hammock intermingle with the pines until the pines 
finally predominate. The trees of the hammock are draped with Spanish-moss 
and bear interesting ferns, orchids, and bromeliads. An enumeration of some 
of the plants noted in the Herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden 
will give some idea of the hammock flora on Long Key, Everglades.
