Abstract
Examines the morphology, phenology and habitat of flower color morphs in four populations of Aletris lutea in southern Florida, six populations of A. bracteata in southern Florida and five populations of A. bracteata in the Bahamas. The authors hypothesize that A. bracteata and A. lutea are distinct species but that there has been some hybridization between them in southern Florida.Suggested Citation
