Glass Mountain crested coralroot (Hexalectris nitida)
Told with 10 years of study that the ones we see in Dallas county do not have flowers that open. This one did however. So cool to see.
Single plant with 9 stems.
Edge of intact blackland prairie. Dozens of plants.
This is from the only known population in Texas. In 2019 only ten plants were present. Three or four bloomed. TXDOT or a contractor had dumped tar over the area which later had been covered up with sand. Note the dimorphic leaves.
Found at Hamilton Pool Preserve.
