Glossary (beta!)

Section: Phemeranthus.

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: The AL populations, substantially disjunct from the rest of the species' distribution and alleged to have morphological differences (stigmas 3 or at least strongly 3-lobed vs. single and capitate, smaller flowers and more elongate stems), need additional and modern study; Murdy & Carter (1985) considered them to be conspecific with Phemeranthus parviflorus.

Other Comments: A diploid species.
