About Zephyranthes traubii (W.Hayw.) Moldenke
The leaf blades of Zephyranthes traubii are dull green and up to 1 mm wide. Its flowers are erect, with a salverform white perianth that is sometimes tinged pink. The entire perianth measures 11 to 15.4 cm (4.3 to 6.1 in) in length, and the primarily white perianth tube is 9 to 12.6 cm (3.5 to 5.0 in) long. The tepals are often reflexed. The stamens are clustered in a fascicle and appear equal in size; the subulate filaments are 0.2 to 0.4 cm (0.079 to 0.157 in) long, and the anthers are 4 to 8 mm long. The style is longer than the perianth tube. The capitate stigma is exserted more than 2 mm beyond the anthers, and a pedicel is absent. This species flowers from July to November. It occurs in Texas and northeast Mexico, growing in sandy loam in open fields or on coastal plains at elevations ranging from 0 to 100 meters above sea level.
