Rhododon ciliatus (Benth.) Epling
EOL Text
Comments: Sparsely vegetated openings in coastal live oak-dominated maritime woodlands on stabilized dunes of Pleistocene age, on former barrier islands. Soil is deep, loose and sandy. Openings are maintained by edaphic or hydrologic factors, or possibly by episodic wildfires; mowing may simulate such disturbances. --W. Carr pers. comm. 1999.

Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.
Estimated Number of Occurrences: 21 - 80
Comments: Over 40 total occurrences, of which 20 are current EOs spread over 9 counties.

Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.
Estimated Number of Occurrences: 1 - 5
Comments: Apparently no more than 10 historical occurrences, of which only 2 are current EOs. One is in relatively natural habitat at an airport, the other is in degraded habitat by a motel. In spite of limited suitable habitat, there probably are more EOs out there.
