Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: L. saxicola has been considered to be merely a form of L. monticola, the leafy stems the result of the basal leaves being covered by silt deposited by floodwaters (Qualls 1984; Lewis 2000; Lewis 2019a); this needs additional study.
