No Name Key

The following are reported from No Name Key:

  • Liguus fasciatus crassus

  • Liguus fasciatus delicatus

  • Liguus fasciatus dryas (type locality)

  • Liguus fasciatus graphicus (type locality)

  • Liguus fasciatus innominatus (type locality)

  • Liguus fasciatus lineolatus (plant)

  • Liguus fasciatus pictus (plant?)

  • Liguus fasciatus simpsoni (plant)

  • Liguus fasciatus solidulus

  • Liguus fasciatus solidus

  • Liguus fasciatus subcrenatus (plant)

The Liguus fasciatus crassus found on No Name appears to be of the same variety found on Big Torch Key.

Liguus fasciatus graphicus and L. f. innominatus are of the same pedigree. The form names are based entirely on the degree of marking on the base of the shells.

Liguus fasciatus dryas is typical.

No specimens of L. f. solidus, L. f. solidulus or L. f. pictus from No Name Key are available.

It's unclear whether the L. f. pictus found on No Name Key is endemic or a plant from Big Pine Key.

The several Lower Matecumbe Key forms, presumably planted some time ago, are now somewhat distinct from their Lower Matecumbe ancestors.

Liguus fasciatus lineolatus is presumably a plant from Key Largo. (PP)
