Where is our Grass?
Spring to Fall
The weather in Florida is so extreme, drought, flood, drought, etc. that whole species of plants disappear from year to year. I remember when there was no Riccardia – the starry flower ground cover (so I am told) – everywhere now.
My Association grass died last Spring, a few weeds began and now they provide total cover (no grass). I do not mind. The weeds are frogfruit, sorrel, day flower, riccardia, little yellow flowers, dollar weed (oops too much rain). I hope they continue to fill our place.

None of the species in your reference are acceptable.
I would suggest the following:
1) Schinus terebinthifolius.
2) Lygodium Microphyllum
3) Bischofia Javanica
4) Thespesia Populnea
5) Albizia Lebbeck
6) Antiperistalzia Repugnante
