|discussion=<p>Isozyme and RAPD data indicate that <i></i>var.<i> texana</i> is limited to south-central Texas (D. S. Decker et al. 1993, 2002b; C. W. Cowan and B. D. Smith 1993). Attribution of <i></i>var.<i> texana</i> to New Mexico apparently has been erroneous. Plants associated with the Mississippi River drainage are <i></i>var.<i> ozarkana</i>, according to the molecular analyses.</p><!--
--><p>Molecular differentiation between <i></i>var.<i> ozarkana</i> and <i></i>var.<i> texana</i> suggests that reproductive isolation has allowed an accumulation of differences; H. Teppner (2004) regarded morphological variability as too overlapping to allow their unarbitrary separation. Molecular data reliably separate them and clearly delimit var. fraterna as well; morphology needs to be restudied. Fruits of <i></i>var.<i> ozarkana</i> usually are ivory white at maturity versus striped in <i></i>var.<i> texana</i>, but this is not completely consistent (T. C. Andres and H. B. Tukey 1995; pers. obs.).</p>
