Nu- merous people have improved this manuscript through thought-provoking discussions and comments. In par- ticular we would like to thank H. R. Wanless (Uni- versity of Miami), T. A. Nelsen (NOAA-AOML), A. D. Cohen, and F J. Rich. D. W. Kuehn (University of Western Kentucky), P. G. Mueller and the Illinois State Museum generously provided reference sets of tropical pollen. Thanks to Everglades National Park, T. Ar- mentano, and W. Meshaka for permission to sample the vouchered herbarium at ENP and help in doing so. A. Vlad volunteered her time to help sample the her- barium. C. J. Ross helped computerize the reference set and the original data set. M. A. Capps helped es- tablish laboratory procedures for pollen preparation. STUDY AREA South Florida is part of the broad, Florida platform (Parker and Cooke, 1944). Although presently attached to the North American continent, the South Florida peninsula is a partly inundated carbonate platform re- moved from most continental influences (Wanless et al, 1989). Sea level has flooded the platform resulting in an expansive shelf margin to the west and a narrow, steep-sided margin to the south and east. The upper- most rock units in the study area are of Tertiary and Quaternary age (Puri and Vernon, 1959). The north- west portion of the study area is underlain by the Pli- ocene Tamiami Formation, a calcareous
