Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: Recent studies by Whittemore et al. (2018) did not find a correlation between ploidy and the morphological characters used by Nesom (2010i) to separate F. biltmoreana and F. smallii. Whittemore et al. (2018) suggest that F. smallii should be remerged with F. biltmoreana, while Campbell (2017) proposed that it be reduced to varietal rank under F. biltmoreana (Campbell 2017). Additional study is needed.
