Discussion | Adlumia fungosa is apparently naturalized in southwestern British Columbia. It was reported to be "freely escaping" from a garden in Alberta (H. Groh 1949), and it is a casual, but usually not persisting, escape elsewhere. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Species 2 (1 in the flora). The Asian members of the genus usually are considered to be a distinct species, Adlumia asiatica Ohwi. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
