Key to Antennaria

A genus of about 70 species, herbs, of temperate and subtropical areas. Of our species, A. neglecta, A. solitaria, A. virginica, and A. plantaginifolia are sexual diploids. A. parlinii is of multiple hybrid origin, includes sexual and asexual populations, and is derived from A. plantaginifolia, A. solitaria, and A. racemosa. A. howellii is strictly asexual, and is derived from A. plantaginifolia, A. racemosa, A. virginica, and A. neglecta (Bayer 1985). For reasons discussed in Bayer & Stebbins (1982) and parallel to those applied in this work to allopolyploid taxa in Eupatorium, the treatment of Bayer (1985) and Bayer & Stebbins (1993, 1982) is preferable to Cronquist's treatments, used in most of the floras covering or approaching our area. Much remains to be learned about the relative habitats and distributions of the various taxa in our area.

  1. Please include your name and if possible, email in case when need to clarify what you wrote.
  2. If you opt out of including email, please be as specific as possible (e.g., which photo is incorrect?)
  3. Please do not submit questions asking to identify plants or about horticultural topics (e.g., how do I control an invasive plant in my garden?). Instead, those questions can be submitted here for the Carolinas region only.
  4. Please do not send us feedback about unkeyed species as this work is ongoing.
  5. Please allow time for flora edits to show in our next data release. We greatly appreciate your feedback but may require extra time to research complicated taxonomic issues.
