Illustration by Debbie McNiel PHLOX ANDICOLA PLAINS PHLOX Plains Phlox is a perennial with loosely tufted stems that are 4-10 cm high arising from creeping rhizomes. The 5-8 pairs of opposite, linear leaves have prominent midveins and whitish bases and are 10-25 mm long, ca. 1 mm wide and come to a sharp point. Foliage is glabrous to sparsely hairy. Stems are white. 1-5 white flowers are borne at the stem tips. Each flower has 5 petals and a tubular corolla. The calyx is also tubular, with 5 lobes, tangled long hairs, and 6-11 mm length. Flowering in May-early June. Distinguished from PHLOX HOODII by leaf length over 10 mm long, and from P. ALYSSIFOLIA by leaf width less than 2 mm wide. Flowers are needed for positive identification, and hybridization between these species is reported elsewhere in the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cooper, Stephen V; Heidel, Bonnie L; U.
