Discussion | Of conservation concern. Fritillaria gentneri is a restricted endemic closely allied with F. recurva and F. affinis, with which it can be confused. Some evidence suggests that it may represent a hybrid between those two species. More study is needed to determine whether it should remain recognized as a distinct species.

Fritillaria pinetorum is easily confused with F. atropurpurea. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
