Here is the parks name sake, Torreya taxifolia. I prefer the latin binomial to the common name- "Florida Stinking Cedar". Not very flattering.
Speaking of such things - I find it interesting, and yes, even entertaining to understand the root words and combining forms of binomials.
The binomial "Torreya taxifolia" is relatively straightforward. The term "Torreya" was chosen in honor of John Torrey (1796-1873), one of the most celebrated U.S. botanists of the mid-19th century. The term "taxifolia" combines the forms "taxi," referring to the genus "taxus," and "folia," referring to the tree's foliage, which resembles the foliage of ""Taxus"".
The book "Dictionary of Word Roots and Combining Forms" by Donald J. Borror is a helpful little tome for dissecting binomials.
Genus Torreya is a primitive member of the yew family (Taxaceae). Six species of this genus are known worldwide: 3 in China, one in Japan and Korea, one in California, and one in the Florida panhandle. The Florida species is by far the most endangered and is the subject of our concern.
Torreya taxifolia (often referred to as T. tax or Florida torreya) is an evergreen conifer tree historically found only along a 65 kilometer stretch of the Apalachicola River of northern Florida and the adjacent sliver of southern Georgia.
It favors the cool and shady ravines that dissect the high bluffs of the river's east shore. Despite its current extreme endemism, the species was once a prominent mid- and under-story member of its forest community, which includes an odd mix of northern and southern species: towering beech and hickory next to tall evergreen magnolia, and surrounded by stubby needle palm.
In the spring of 1875, distinguished Harvard botanist Asa Gray embarked upon a trip to the panhandle of Florida, to "make a pious pilgrimage to the secluded native haunts of that rarest of trees, the Torreya taxifolia". The trees observed by Gray grew up to a meter in circumference and were as much as 20 meters tall.
