Ceratiola ericoides Michx.
FLORIDA ROSEMARY; SAND HEATH
**
**
This plant exhibits allelopathy, inhibiting germination of some scrub species, perhaps through ceratiolin and its degradation products (Fischer et al. 1994; Hewitt & Menges 2008). A pollen core of Lake Annie showed high amounts of Ceratiola and other scrub species from ca. 13,000-37,000 years ago, indicative of a historically larger scrub ecosystem locally (Watts 1975).
