Discussion

Plants of Hexastylis virginica with small, cylindric-urceolate calices have been treated as a distinct species, H. memmingeri. The two calyx types are often found in the same population, however, so H. memmingeri seems unworthy of taxonomic recognition at any rank.

Prior to the study by H. L. Blomquist (1957), many botanists interpreted Hexastylis virginica in a very broad sense, so old herbarium specimens of many other species of Hexastylis are often annotated as H. virginica.

The Cherokee used Hexastylis virginica medicinally to stop blood from passing (D. E. Moerman 1986, as Asarum virginicum).
