Ernodea cokeri, commonly referred to as Coker's beach creeper[2] or one-nerve ernodea[1], is a species of flowering plant endemic to extreme southern Florida and northern Bahamas.[3]
Habitat
[edit | edit source]It only occurs in the calcareous pine habitats of the region, where limestone is often exposed at the surface.[3] These include the pine rockland in Florida's Miami-Dade and Monroe counties,[2] and the pineyards of Bahamas' northern archipelago.[1]
Conservation
[edit | edit source]In Florida, where it is regarded as critically imperiled, the pine rockland habitat this species relies on has been historically devastated by development such that this species is now known from only 3 sites. Additionally, its conservation status in the Bahamas is unknown.[1]
