Spotted and identified by Steve Woodmansee when we were walking back to the truck after working in the HID. This would be the first record for Miami-Dade according to the Florida Plant Atlas: https://florida.plantatlas.usf.edu/Genus.aspx?id=357
I almost convinced Steve to change the route we walked, which would have led us away from this area, so I'm glad he stuck to the original plan!
Seen while completing plant monitoring with Steve W in the Hole-in-the-Donut, Restoration Area 2003 in Everglades National Park. Location is accurate.

Steve asked me to document two casuarinas to alert park staff since these are highly invasive.
