Discussion | Of conservation concern. Morphology, cytology, and distribution suggest that Zephyranthes refugiensis arose as a hybrid between Z. pulchella and Z. jonesii. It is known only from Goliad and Refugio counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
