It is indeed V. stenoloba & it is positively growing here in Fl. & not just in my location. I found it here last night but it was unidentified. It is right below the Marsh Gentian. This location is a good ways from my present location. I'm going to say a good 200+ miles south & directly on the east coast.

You were on the right track from the beginning Mary. And you recognized it Jay but the info. on where it occurs threw you. Now, I will wait till this evening to put the photos in the db in case you guys have something to say about it --- a reason I'm mistaken.
Someone needs to update the USDA plants db b/c it only shows it in N.M. & Texas

it doesn't have it as introduced anywhere else.
