Plants often growing in dense clumps. Leaves 4–7, erect, 3–6 dm × 1.9–2.9 cm; blade blue-green in appearance due to glaucousness. Tepals to 16 cm.


Phenology: Flowering late spring.
Habitat: Cypress depressions at edges of pine flatwoods
Elevation: 0 m

Discussion

Of conservation concern.

Hymenocallis henryae var. glaucifolia occurs only in Liberty County and represents an apparent divergence of the populations of H. henryae east of the Apalachicola River. In these plants, a heavy glaucousness causes the surface of the leaves to appear blue-green. This characteristic, along with the clumping habit and tepal length to 16 cm, supports recognition of these Liberty County populations as a distinct variety.
