| My first thought was Spiranthes. |

| I don`t think either are correct but the spiranthes comes closer. This does not spiral. |

| I believe your species is Froelichia floridana, which is common in your area. You could also see Froelichia gracillis. F. floridana has a flask-shaped calyx in fruit, and is not branched from the base. F. gracillis has a conical calyx in fruit, and is branched from the base. I've included a photo of the inflorescence on one of our F. gracillis plants for comparison.
