About twelve males giving distinctive sputtery flicker flashes low over the marsh grasses. This poor quality GIF was made from a video I took showing the diagnostic flash pattern. The frame rate is messed up lumping the first few flickers together while isolating the last resulting in a double flash appearance here, in reality it was a continuous flicker.

Description

I believe this is the first sighting of this plant in St. Mary’s County MD (Precise coordinates are available on request).

Location: A small plateau about 5m above & 10m horizontal to an estuary.

Habitat: A small stand of Pinus virginiana within a dense thicket of Kalmia latifolia, with isolated Quercus bicolor, Quercus falcata (I think), Ilex opaca, and Acer sp. nearby contributing to the leaf litter.

Other Notes: If my nose is to be believed there are at least 3 more populations within a few hundred meters. The odor is similar to cloves, but less spicy and more floral.
