Discussion
A recent study strongly suggests that Phemeranthus calcaricus is a derivative of autotetraploid P. calycinus (W. H. Murdy and M. E. B. Carter 2001). Congruent with that hypothesis, one collection from a glade in Izard County, Arkansas (B. L. Lipscomb 1577, NCU), which is within the range of P. calycinus, appears to belong to P. calcaricus, which is known otherwise only from well east of the Mississippi River and outside the range of P. calycinus.
