Polyradicion lindenii is actually a VERY common species in its localities (Fakahatchee Strand, Big Cypress, etc.). The reason it is thought to be rare is because it is limited to Cuba and four counties in Florida; Collier, Lee, Hendry, and Monroe. The areas where they are found are not easily accessible unless visited in the driest months (our winter and spring)...
