Discussion
The attribution to Louisiana (based on a single nineteenth-century collection) is doubtful (R. D. Thomas, pers. comm.). Apparently rare, Croomia pauciflora sometimes may be overlooked because of its superficial resemblance to juvenile forms of Smilax ecirrhata S. Watson and S. herbacea Linnaeus.
