Gage LaPierre, founder of the University of Florida Native Plant Nursery, along with other faculty and students at the UF FFGS school clears up much of the confusion around the Pityopsis genus, clarifying the species found in different regions of the state. This genus was formerly lumped into graminifolia and graminifolia var tracyi. Growers are encouraged to review and carefully reconsider the identification of the species they are currently producing. Major shout out to the FANN growers who contributed to early reviews of this document.

Gage LaPierre’s work on this document and the UF Native Plant Nursery has been supported in part by FANN and the Native Plant Horticulture Foundation.
