Discussion
Schizanthus pinnatus is commonly cultivated as an ornamental bedding plant (C. D. Brickell and J. D. Zuk 1997). Reports of the species from Maine (C. D. Richards et al. 1983) could not be confirmed; it was excluded from the Maine flora by A. Haines and T. F. Vining (1998).
Selected References
None.
