South Florida History and Distribution: Ranked as possibly extirpated in Rare Plants of South Florida (
Gann et al.2002; pp 154-155) based on one collection from Hendry County in 1966 (
O Lakela 29999 USF). Since then this species has been observed in South Florida, but these populations are probably naturalized from cultivated plants. This is a temperate species at the southern end of its
range, and it may have been always rare in South Florida.
SOUTH FLORIDA Cultivated Status:
Cultivated
