The leaves and bark coloring looks about right for a younger Gumbo Limbo tree... but without seeing any peeling bark it could just as easily be several other plants (at least with my weak plant identification skills, especially in areas like there where almost every plant's leaves look basically identical). I'll try to remember to re-check my Everglades photos tonight to see if I took any other shots that include this same plant (I probably didn't, I didn't take very many photos in this particular trail).

Taking a second look did make me realize I geotagged the photo wrong originally. When I uploaded it, I thought I had taken the photo a day earlier than I did, so I originally tagged it on the wrong side of Long Pine Key. Posted 3 years ago
