Hasteola robertiorum, commonly referred to as hammockherb or Gulf coast hammock plantain,[2] is a rare species of flowering plant endemic to north-central peninsular Florida in the US.[1]
Habitat
It grows in hydric hammocks and mucky microhabitats along spring-fed blackwater rivers.[1][3]
In the hammock context, it is known to grow in the understory of swamp laurel oak, American sweetgum, and southern live oak.[1]
Conservation
The species is known from two disjunct metapopulations in Levy and Lake counties, where it is known from only 4 sites. However, it is possible that there are as-of-yet undiscovered populations in the hammocks of the Big Bend region.[1]
