Subsequently cultivated at the northwest corner of the Florida City Pineland by Miami-Dade County, presumably from Bahamian germplasm. Rediscovered in the wild in 2021 by IRC Ecological Restoration Team Leader Alex Seasholtz at the Moreno Pineland near SW 222nd Street and 137th Avenue in Miami-Dade County. A single clump was found growing out of undegraded oolitic limestone.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miami Native Plants Shop","offers":[{"title":"3 gallon","offer_id":44960021053596,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0403\/7276\/files\/Bahama-manjack_flower.jpg?v=1748283433","url":"https:\/\/miaminativeplants.myshopify.com\/products\/bahama-manjack","provider":"Miami Native Plants Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
