Calydorea caelestina (Bartram) Goldblatt & Henrich. Bartram's Ixia. Phen: Apr-Oct. Hab: Pine flatwoods. Dist: Endemic to ne. FL (Chafin 2000); the single GA record is by P.O. Schallert, notoriously sloppy with his location data, and is therefore best discounted unless additional information comes to light.

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: The original spelling must be used; there is no basis for 'correcting' 'caelestina' to 'coelestina' (Franck & Manolaraki 2017).

Other Comments: The flowers open in the morning (ca. 8-10 a.m., or as late as noon on overcast days, E.D.S.T).
