ENTS, Just a note on lignum vitae. I just finished reading "Naturalist" by E.O. Wilson. In it he describes how he was involved in an effort in the 1960s to save one of the Florida Keys from development, Lignumvitae Key. You can see it on google earth and it still looks relatively untouched. Here's how he described it: "Huge mahogany and gumbo-limbo, including the largest individual of the latter species in the United States, towered over wild lime, torchwood, Jamaica dogwood, boxleaf stopper, strangler fig, and the only large stand of holywood lignum vitae in Florida. Sixty-five species of trees and woody shrubs, all tropical and subtropical, composed the woody flora."
Sounds like something I'd like to see... Anyone been there?
