Discussion

Subspecies capillifolia occurs from Blaine and Lincoln counties, Oklahoma, south through a narrow portion of north-central Texas to central Texas, where it is widely distributed, especially on the Edwards Plateau; also occurring locally in western and southern Louisiana. The floral tubes and/or stigma of some populations, especially from Bexar, Blanco, Comal, Gillespie, Hays, Kendall, Kerr, and Travis counties, Texas, are a deep blackish purple, while others are yellow, which is typical of the section.
