Discussion | In the flora area, Allowissadula holosericea ranges from the Edwards Plateau to the trans-Pecos mountains and westward; in Mexico, it occurs north of the Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra de Tamaulipas. The name Abutilon velutinum A. Gray 1849 (not G. Don 1831), which pertains here, is illegitimate. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Allowissadula lozanoi occurs east and south of the Edwards Plateau through the southern Texas coastal plains into northeastern Mexico. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
