I do hope that the site is helpful as well. At least you know what is expected in the area.

Noticed the name change, so I think you agree. You have a reference through Wikipedia, so that's good. I still feel this would be stronger because it is local through UF IFAS. Just edit the spotting and copy the UF IFAS link location into the 3rd reference site or into the notes.

Noticed you were in Gainesville. ID provided you with a UF IFAS link. Please reference as this would be a local ID site.
