Paronychia erecta (Chapman) Shinners var. erecta . Common name: Smooth Squareflower. Phenology: Mar-Nov. Habitat: Coastal dunes. Distribution: Panhandle FL west to s. MS.
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
Taxonomy Comments: Small afforded this taxon species rank (Odontonychia erecta; Small 1933), while modern authors have placed it into synonymy into a broader P. erecta (Hartman et al. 2005). There seems to be enough morphological evidence to at least support this taxon at varietal rank, although more study is needed.
