Comentarios:

Etnobotánica:

Hymenocallis occidentalis has a long history of cultivation in southern gardens and is grown well beyond its native range.  The Flora of North America references a plant, harvested from the wild near Evergreen, Alabama and planted at the Henry Foundation’s southern garden in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, which has not only survived but bloomed prolifically for over 40 years.

Comentarios generales:

The natural range of this species includes parts of the eastern panhandle, but overall, it is a southern coastal plain and Mississippi Valley species whose range extends from South Carolina to Texas and up the Mississippi Valley as far north as southern Illinois and Indiana.
