Discussion

Deiregyne confusa is known in the United States only from the original collections made in 1931 in the Chisos Mountains of Brewster County, Texas. Searches since then have failed to find any more plants (C. A. Luer 1975; J. Liggio and A. Liggio 1999). The Texas plants were originally identified as Spiranthes durangensis Ames & C. Schweinfurth (D. S. Correll 1950). They were subsequently placed in Deiregyne and described as D. confusa Garay. L. A. Garay (1980[1982]) stated that D. durangensis does not occur in the United States.
