tell me this is not a regular palmetto? because the biologists are not looking in the right places if so.

how you are supposed to tell the difference between some of the oaks, i have absolutely no idea. the live oaks on campus look like the live oaks in very southeast LA on the salt marsh levees, which look exactly like the scrubby oaks in central tx. there's no way those are the same species but they all look the same to me.
