SPECIES OF PETERIDOPHYTES, GYMNOSPERMS, AND MONOCOTS OF CONSERVATION CONCERN/APPENDIX TWELVE
1215
Eleocharis melanocarpa Torr., BLACK-FRUIT SPIKE-
RUSH. IFET.
Eleocharis ravenelii Britton in Small, RIO GRANDE
SPIKE-RUSH, SOUTH TEXAS SPIKE SEDGE. Carr (2001) and
Poole et al. (2002) recognized E. austrotexana
and considered it a Texas endemic and of conservation
concern (G3, S3). While we are lumping
E. austrotexana with E. ravenelii, because of its
rareness in the state, we still consider the taxon
to be of conservation concern in Texas. IFET.
Eleocharis reverchonii Svenson, REVERCHON’S
SPIKE-RUSH. This species is sometimes synonymized
with E. acicularis. However, we are following
the recent treatment in Smith et al. (2002)
who recognize it as a distinct species; they also
indicate that it is of conservation concern. e
Eleocharis wolfii (A. Gray) A. Gray ex Britton,
WOLF’S SPIKE-RUSH. Eleocharis wolfii is considered
rare in a number of states (Kartesz 1999), and is
possibly of conservation concern.
Epipactis gigantea Douglas ex Hook., GIANT HELLE-
BORINE, STREAM ORCHIS, STREAM EPIPACTIS,
CHATTERBOX. (RARE 2002b: G3S3)
Eriocaulon kornickianum Van Heurck & Müll. Arg.,
SMALL-HEAD PIPEWORT, GULF PIPEWORT. This species
is cited by Kral (2000b) as being of conservation
concern. (TOES 1993: V; RARE 2002a: G2S1SOC)
Erythronium rostratum W. Wolf, YELLOW TROUT-LILY,
BEAKED TROUT-LILY. IFET.

Pavlik (ined.) indicated that this species is “rare.”
(RARE 2001, 2002b: G3S2S3)
Hesperaloe engelmannii Krauskopf, (no common
name known, but could reasonably be called
ENGELMANN’S RED-FLOWERED YUCCA). IFET. ? e

conservation concern. (RARE 2002a: G2S2SOC)

(1999) considered this species to be rare
throughout its range. (RARE 2002a: G3S1SOC)
Leersia monandra Sw., BUNCH CUT GRASS. Pyrah
(ined.) noted that there are few recent collections
of this species; it could thus possibly be of conservation
concern. Larry Brown (pers. comm.)
noted that there are Brazoria Co. collections
(SBSC) made in 2000 and 2002.
Lemma perpusilla Torr., DUCKWEED, MINUTE DUCK-

FINGER ORCHID, CHAPMAN’S ORCHID, CHAPMAN’S

the species to be of conservation concern in
Texas. IFET.
