Nyssa ursina Small. Bear Tupelo, Apalachicola Tupelo. Phen: Apr-Jun; Aug-Oct. Hab: Stringers, flatwoods depressions. Dist: Endemic to Panhandle FL (Apalachicola lowlands region; Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gulf, Liberty, and Wakulla counties).
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
Other Comments: A 1-3 m tall shrub or small tree, intricately branched, related to N. biflora. Because of the co-occurrence of this and N. biflora in the FL Panhandle, it seems best to recognize this taxon at the species level.
