NOTE:  Use of Common Names for native plants can be a real problem, since every region of the U.S. may use many and diverse Common Names, and these names often differ from one region of the nation to another.  This is particularly true in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where the use of Common Names for Valley natives varies so much, both in English and in Spanish.  It is ALWAYS best to copy the Scientific Name of any of the plants shown on our webpage and do an Internet Search (google) on the Scientific Name.  We ALL need to learn and get used to using the Scientific Names of native plants.
