Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: This taxon has often been ignored or lumped into C. parvifolia, or lumped even further into a broadly neotropical C. racemiflora; it seems distinctive in leaf size, shape, apex, L:W ratio, the length of the racemes, and habitat. C. parvifolia approaches as far south as Osceola County, but is morphologically distinct from C. arida.
