Hexastylis rhombiformis, the North Fork heartleaf or French Broad heartleaf, is a wildflower of the family Aristolochiaceae found in North Carolina and South Carolina in the United States . The population of this species discovered in 1982 included about 50 plants. It has been postulated that, due to similarities between the three plants, Hexastylus rhombiformis may be a natural hybrid between Hexastylis arifolia and another local Hexastylis species.[1]
Description
Hexastylis rhombiformis is an evergreen herb with solitary flowers. Flower colors range from dark purple to white. The leaf blades are not variegated. The stigmas are round.
