|discussion=<p>Subspecies clypeatus was collected for the first time in the flora area in 1994; it was not identified until 2009. It is known in the flora area only from near the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County and deserves state and federal protection. Hummingbird visits to <i>H. clypeatus</i> have been observed in Belize and Mexico (D. M. Bates, pers. comm.; J. C. Meerman 1993); bats are suspected as the primary agents for pollination (O. J. Blanchard 1976).</p>
