Depression marshes are seasonally wet depressions within pine flatwoods and dry prairie areas. Typically, several distinct zones of vegetation are present in these wetlands, forming concentric circular bands. Near the center of the deeper marshes, the most common plants include pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), sagittarias (Sagittaria spp.), spatterdock (Nuphar luteum subsp. macrophyllum) fireflag (Thalia geniculata) and water lilies (Nymphaea spp.). Hydroperiods in these areas are the longest and generally decrease in duration as one moves outward toward the fringes of the wetland.

Pickerelweed: Pontederia cordata, An erect, emerged aquatic perennial with attractive purple flowers. Pickerelweed is a weed of ponds, lakes, ditches, and streams that is found throughout the Camp Miles area as well as the Southeastern United States.

The native pickerelweed is a very common emersed plant that is commonly found growing in streams, marshes, ditches, ponds and lake margins nearly throughout Florida (Wunderlin, 2003). It is a prolific grower that can cover large areas. Pontederia cordata blooms from spring to summer.

Pickerelweed typically grows to about two to three feet tall. Its leaves are large, up to five inches wide, and are usually twice as long. Leaf shapes are variable, but are usually lance-shaped. The easiest way to recognize pickerelweed is by its spike of violet-blue flowers. Sometimes the flowers are white.

This species is most probably Biglowia nudata, which is known as rayless goldenrod.

The white form of the Great Blue Heron, known as the "great white heron," is found nearly exclusively in shallow marine waters along the coast of very southern Florida, the Yucatan Peninsula, and in the Caribbean. Where the dark and white forms overlap in Florida, intermediate birds known as "Wurdemann's herons" can be found. They have the bodies of a Great Blue Heron, but the white head and neck of the great white heron.
