Paronychia

Paronychia erecta (Chapman) Shinners var. erecta. Common name: Smooth Squareflower. Phenology: Mar-Nov. Habitat: Coastal dune. Distribution: Panhandle FL west to s. MS.

Glossary (beta)

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.

Synonymy : = Chaudhri (1968), Ward (1977a), Ward (1977b); Siphonychia erecta Chapm. = Odontonychia erecta (Chapm.) Small — S, S13; < Paronychia erecta (Chapm.) Shinners — Fl4, FNA5, K4, WH3, Shinners (1962h). Basionym: Siphonychia erecta Chapm. 1860
