|discussion=<p><i>Crocanthemum carolinianum</i> is one of the more distinctive members of <i>Crocanthemum</i> because of its short stature, basal rosettes, relatively large leaves, nonrevolute leaf margins, and long-stellate hairs on stems. Unlike other eastern species, it rarely produces cleistogamous flowers (less than 1% of specimens examined, according to H. S. Daoud and R. L. Wilbur 1965, all in Florida).</p>
