Description

L. linearis is a perennial forb/herb of the Onagraceae family native to North America. [1]

Distribution

L. linearis var. linearis ranges from southern New Jersey to central peninsular Florida, west to southeastern Louisiana, and inland to the Cumberland Plateau of northcentral Alabama and central Tennessee.[3] L. linearis var. puberula ranges from central Alabama to central Arizona and eastern Missouri, south to eastern Texas, and north to Florida and North Carolina.[3]
