Trichocoronis wrightii (Torrey & A. Gray) A. Gray var. wrightii . Phenology: Apr-May. Habitat: Prairies, depressions, ephemeral wetlands, ditches, ponds. Often with some sort of seasonal or permanent subaquatic to aquatic association. Distribution: S. TX.
Key advice:The cypselae of this taxon has a pappus that is "essentially absent or of a few very minute fimbrillate scales" (Correll and Johnston 1979). Thus, the scales (if present) could potentially be confused with bristles; it is not keyed as a fail-safe in B:1a because of this distinction.
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
