Narrative
Enclosed are some more seeds of V. darrowii. They come from 10 different clones of V. darrowii that were growing in pots outside our greenhouse in Gainesville. The parent clones came from rooted cuttings of plants we selected about five years ago. Two of the parent clones were from the Florida panhandle, along the Apalachicola River where Interstate 10 crosses the river. This woild be Liberty County, Florida. The other eight cloneswere from what I call the Lake Istokpoga area in Highlands County, Florida. These include one clone from Camp Cloverleaf (a 4 H camp near Lake Placid), two clones from the Archbold Biological Station in Lake Placid, and the rest from the southern shore of Lake Istokpoga.Lake Istokpoga is at the southern end of the Lake Wales Ridge, an area of pure white sand dunes overlying a shallow perched water table. The sand dunes date back to the previous inter-glacial period, I think about 200,000 years ago, when the sea was higher. The Lake Wales Ridge has many scrub plants, many endemic and highly endangered, and a totally different flora that surrounds the sink-hole lakes, largest of which is Istokpoga.These seeds will produce mostly the glaucous, short-statured phase of V. darrowii. However, in disturbed habitats such as where these plants came from, V. darrowii readily crosses with diploid V. corymbosum that lines the lakeshore, so the seedlings will also include some taller plants that are introgressed to some extent with Florida highbush genes.These packets of seed represent less than 20% of this year's seed yield from 10 pots, 3-gallon size. Although it is hard to find quantities of V. darrowii seed in the forest, save for exceptional years in which there is a huge crop (about once a decade), the plants are consistently extremely productive when grown in pots of peat. - Paul Lyrene (June 26, 2007)
