I hiked out to Coptic Key... this is a slow hike during the wet season as the trail floods and some areas are almost two feet deep. Other observations from the hike and the hammock: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?locale=en-US&nelat=25.67170774977456&nelng=-80.48050282152995&on=2020-06-15&place_id=any&preferred_place_id=127553&swlat=25.650432283246875&swlng=-80.5621707216154&user_id=joemdo

Beautiful sabatia, about 2-2.5 feet tall growing in wet marsh. Leaves are small and opposite.
