Patchy, possibly common, in maintained cemetery. Easily overlooked. I initially dismissed these as small Houstonia pusilla, until it became clear that they appeared significiantly smaller than the abundant Houstonia pusilla. I then thought they might be Houstonia parviflora which also has small white flowers and occurs in the region and I did not realize until I got home that the leaves were more consistent with H. micrantha. I only took two measurements in the field, the flower width of about 5mm and stem length of about 2.8cm. However, from the width, I could estimate that the corolla tube was probably around 2mm (from the profile photo), more consistent with H. micrantha than H. pusilla.

Description

National Butterfly Center

This is the actual native Passiflora foetida, not to be confused with the introduced P. lanuginosa that the vast majority of people of Texas are more familiar with and usually is mistakenly called P. foetida. You can use the distinctions listed below to tell the two species apart.

In our area:

P. lanuginosa:
Usually larger darker leaves with the lobes usually being larger, more angular, and coming to a point
Stems and leaves can be anywhere between hairless to densely hairy
Leaves have little to no smell when lightly rubbed
Pink/white/pink coronal filaments with pinkish petals/sepals (occasionally white)
Hairless fruit that turns red at full maturity
An introduced species, usually found on disturbed sites / around human habitation
Aggressive growth habit; spreading

P. foetida:
Usually smaller lighter green leaves with the same basic shape as the leaves of P. lanuginosa, although with smaller more rounded lobes, usually not coming to a defined point
Leaves densely hairy; truly velvet-like in texture
Leaves give off a strong funky smell when lightly rubbed (to me it smells like cheese)
Bluish-purple coronal filaments with white petals/sepals
Hairy fruit that stays green at full maturity
Native species usually found on less disturbed sites; in Texas limited to south Texas
Smaller, less vigorous species than P. ciliata; not spreading
Reaches the northern limit of its range in Texas around the northside of San Antonio

Here is a good example of actual P. foetida:

Mills County, Texas; Timberlake Biological Field Station bioblitz

Aphanostephus skirrhobasis

Large patch of plants. Annuals. Under magnification (40x), at least some achene hairs appear coiled apically, indicating A. skirrhobasis over A. ramosissimus. It is unclear if all achene hairs are coiled this way as even at 40x, it is not always easy to see. In the field, with a 30x pocket scope, I could only tell that some hairs might be apically thickened or possibly hooked and I was unable to capture any of these hairs well via macro lens in the field. Turner's work on Aphanostephus (Taxonomy of the Genus Aphanostephus (Asteraceae-Astereae) - 1984) makes it sound as if this morphology should be clear at 30x magnification, but that was not my experience (though I don't have the best scope). He apparently originally discovered the difference in hair morphology when examining chromosome numbers via meiotic squashes, so it is possible that he was used to seeing them under higher magnification. There is a line drawing in his work which shows the difference in hair morphology, and it shows some differences which I think would only be visible under higher magnification. On the specimens I examined, the achene hairs were on the order of .1mm long.

Turner also mentioned sometimes finding up to three Aphanostephus species "cohabitating" or even "intermixing" in the case of A. skirrohobasis and A. ramosissimus, so while this observation indicates the presence A. skirrhobasis at this particular spot at Timberlake, it does not rule out the possibility of A. ramosissimus elsewhere. It does cast doubt on observations that have been identified to species where the achene hairs have not been examined, which is probably all of them.

I find it curious that the Flora of North Central Texas, which cites Turner's work, does not reference the difference in achene hair morphology, instead using other features which seem difficult to use. The pappus however did seem scaly rather than hairy, though the scales seemed numerous rather than limited to 5 as suggested for A. skirrhobasis.

While I suspect that this might in some way qualify as L. anagallidea, I did not take a close look at all the features, particularly the lower leaves. There has apparently been some disagreement on how to treat forms fitting L. anagallidea. The Flora of North Central Texas treats it as L. dubia var. anagallidea, while noting that some authors recommend lumping it with L. dubia var. dubia. Weakley (2023) lists it as a species, but notes under L. dubia var. dubia that some authors apparently treat them as forms of the same species.

This specimen was single stemmed with corolla lobes about 7.5x3.5mm, the tube about 12 mm, and calyx about 10.5mm. The largest leaf, towards the base, was about 15x4.5mm. This specimen was one of the most robust at this spot. Most at this spot were single stemmed from what I could tell, but I definitely saw other spots where the specimens appeared multi-stemmed and some spots where single stemmed plants were growing so close together as to appear to be multi-stemmed.

Description

This is Lantana camara. Lantana camara was introduced over a century ago on this island and is a self-sustained introduced population. The plant has not proven to be particularly invasive here, the climate is perhaps too wet for Lantana camara to outcompete the many other invasives on the island. Note that the computer vision top choice was Lantana horrida, and Lantana × urticoides was a third option. This, for me, explains the frequent misidentification of Lantana camara as Lantana horrida or Lantana × urticoides.

Note too how the colors shift: the seventh image suggests that some florets were yellow, but to the naked eye they were clearly orange. Exposure choices made by my Motorola Moto G6 altered the colors from what is seen in person.

As for the ID, note the finely toothed margins, the reduced floral bractlets, the flat blade. This observation is a good example of a lantana that does not have the lavender/fuchsia/pink florets but rather has the floret color spectrum of Lantana × urticoides and yet is fully Lantana camara.

I noticed ants were eating from dark spots on this vetch. I don't know what the dark spots are, but they were on all the plants, so not created by the ants.

Linum imbricatum

Patch of plants in light colored sandy soil which seems to have accumulated on a flat part of the mostly downhill Bluff Trail Loop. Distinguished from L. hudsonioides (which occurs in the nearby uplands of the park) by the ciliate margins found on some upper leaves. It was quite difficult to see the ciliate margins. With a 10x loop I could only see what might have been ciliate margins, but also could have been hairs on the adjacent stem. With a 30x pocket microscope, I could see that there were ciliate margins on at least some of the upper leaves (midstem and upwards), but it did not appear that all the margins were ciliate. Photography of these minute cilia was also difficult since I could never tell if they were in focus and they did not respond well to the direct light of the onboard flash.

I arrived at these plants early in the afternoon and within about 45 minutes almost all of the petals had fallen (or popped off in a ring), as they tend to do in these species.

Plants were up to about 11cm. Petal lobes (measured from top center in flower) were about 8mm.

Found this patch based on this recent observation:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/155017445

A last note. Although all the plants within about a 5 meter radius appeared to be L. imbricatum, there was an isolated individual in the taller vegetation about 20-30m away which appeared to be L. hudsonioides.

Linum hudsonioides

Probably Linum hudsonioides. Small patch in flower along Ridge trail in sparsely gravelly compacted sandy soil. For the most part, the leaves appeared entire, not ciliate margined as in L. imbricatum. However, it does appear that this population had some occasional really minute cilia at the base of some leaves. I don't know if that occurs in other populations or maybe because there be some slight intermediacy in this area due to the proximity of L. imbricatum (maybe just a few hundred meters away on the Bluff Trail).

Plants were to about 15cm tall, with petals approximately 8-9mm.

Had such a great time with fellow iNatters at Timberlake Field Station. iNat is a community! :) Still working on the ID's for many of these, but I'd never turn down assistance!
