Coastalplain palafox (Palafoxia integrifolia, Asteraceae)
Native
Aha! So this is where the palafoxes are. I couldn't believe it. There were hundreds of them. They're tall (4-5 ft.) with abundant, fuzzy, white blossoms on top. Easy to spot. It's almost a Florida endemic--it's found only in Florida and 4 counties in southern Georgia.

No flowers this time of the year, just the small seed boxes. These plants were in a ditch that ran diagonally through the scrub.

This was a new wildflower for me. This is the only one I know of in Wickham Park. I can't say whether or not the plant is fragrant. When I found it, I didn't know it was supposed to be fragrant. I'll check next time I see it.
