Catesbaea parviflora

Catesbaea parviflora, commonly referred to as small-flower lilythorn, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae native to the Caribbean and the Florida Keys.

Habitat

In Florida it is known from pinelands, rocklands, hammocks, and coastal berms.

Conservation

The species, despite its considerable geographic distribution, is not locally abundant and is known from few sites. It is primarily threatened by habitat loss to development and overcollection.
In Florida, it is only known to persist in two keys: Bahia Honda Key and Big Pine Key. As such, NatureServe regards it as critically imperiled in Florida.
