Range
Coastal south Florida, and south Texas.
Habitat
Black mangrove swamps and adjacent clearings.
Season

Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) - Acanthaceae
Remarks
Many sources will have Mangrove Buckeye (J. genoveva), and Tropical Buckeye (J.evarete) reversed. See comments regarding this confusion under the Info section for the genus Junonia.

note that the names Junonia evarete and Junonia genoveva are reversed in some of the references cited (and the distributional data is confused at the Nearctica web site); so, look at the common name (Mangrove Buckeye) to find this one. However, the information given is still helpful.
