Garberia heterophylla (W. Bartram) Merrill & F. Harper. Common name: Garber's Scrub Stars, Garberia. Phenology: Oct-Dec (-Jan). Habitat: Florida scrub and sandhills, often on yellow sands. Distribution: Endemic from ne. FL south to c. peninsular FL. A T.G. Harbison specimen of this species (NCU9932) was labeled as being from Charleston, SC, based on its being pressed in a Charleston newspaper dated 1916-11-16, but is more parsimoniously interpreted as having been collected by Harbison when he was in FL later that month.

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
