Table 4. Invasive Exotic Species observed. Common Name Scientific Name FLEPPC Status State Status Alligator Weed Alternanthera philoxeroides Cat II Prohibited none Water-Hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes Cat I Prohibited none Lantana Lantana camara Cat I None none Old World Climbing Fern Lygodium microphyllum Cat I noxious none Waterlettuce Pistia stratiotes Cat I none none Brazilian Pepper Schinus terebinthifolius Cat I prohibited none Caesar's Weed Urena lobata Cat II none none Federal Status Ownership/Notes – Vehicle access is limited, it requires passing through private land. There are limited roadways on site and full access may require the use of swamp buggies. There are four owners. Ru-Mar Inc is the largest landowner with 528 acres. Recommendation/Management Requirements – Remove cattle and burn from the open areas into the forest. Fill in the shallow canals. The current pasture areas will likely restore to open prairies rather than forested areas. Treat exotics, especially Lygodium microphyllum and Schinus terebinthifolius. 127
