The John Kunkel Small collection documents Small's tenure as the first Curator of Museums at The New York Botanical Garden; his published and unpublished floristic studies of the south central, southeastern, and northeastern United States, and Florida, New York, and Texas; and his studies of cacti, ferns, palms, and vines.

Small saw and/or collected the Okeechobee gourd in 1913 and 1917, and he found it to be locally common in the Okeechobee pond apple forests, but at least 95 percent of this habitat had already been destroyed by 1930 when he named the gourd Pepo okeechobeensis (Small 1922, 1930).
John Kunkel Small observed and collected the species on trips he reported in the 1918 paper.
The Okeechobee gourd persists, in small numbers, in highly modified vegetation, and is highly vulnerable to further modifications of that vegetation.

In a small subset of boys and girls with intersex conditions, the external genitalia may be undervirilized or overvirilized.
In contrast to the small percentage of people with biological discordances of sex, a fairly large proportion of human beings may be "discordant" in one or more behavioral or psychological dimensions.
The vast majority of these people who are discordant in some aspect of psyche or behavior do not have any detectable biological intersex condition, although some recent studies point towards biological factors in at least some of those conditions.

The six small flowers have white to pink perianth segments (undifferentiated whorl of petals and sepals), occur in clusters of 3 to 20, and are surrounded at their base by a funnel-shaped involucre (modified leaf) (Hickman 1993).
The small fragmented range of the five carbonate plants and limiting ecological factors that reduce the chances of their survival make these species particularly vulnerable to natural and human disturbance (e.g., non-native species, wildfire, livestock grazing, forest product harvesting, and mining) (Burgman et al.
We are not including all or part of some aggregate occurrences because the habitat in those areas is considered to be too degraded, or so small and isolated as to not have long-term viability, and therefore, not essential to the conservation of the species.

 Plant of the Week 06/21/2004: Florida Butterfly Orchid (Encyclia tampensis)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
The Florida butterfly orchid was discovered near Tampa Bay in 1846 by John Torrey and originally named Epidendrum tampense by John Lindley in 1847.
In 1913, John Kunkel Small placed the orchid into the genus Encyclia established by William Jackson Hooker in 1828 and largely 'forgotten' until Epidendrum (upon a tree) became unwieldy with too many orchids not sharing the same traits.
The genus Encyclia comes from the Greek enkykleomai meaning "to encircle", a reference to the lateral lobes of the lip which encircle the column, and tampensis for the area of first discovery.
