Description

One of over 70 varieties of spiderworts.

Hair placement is one of the key characteristics for identifying this species of spiderwort. The sepal margins and ovaries of Ohio spiderwort (T. ohiensis) are hairless. But the sepals of Ozark spiderwort may have, and the ovaries do have, glandular hairs. Prairie spiderwort (T. occidentalis) has a hairy ovary and sepals, but the ovary is less hairy than Ozark spiderwort. Also, the leaf blades of Ozark spiderwort are wider than the circumference of the sheath, but the leaf blade of prairie spiderwort is narrower than the circumference of the sheath.

Yeah. Spiderwort.
