Samolus ebracteatus, the limewater brookweed,[2] is a plant species known to Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and to the United States (Florida, Nevada, Texas , Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico). It is found in wetlands, including seashore salt marshes, and near springs and intermittent rivers in desert areas.[3][4]
Samolus ebracteatus is a perennial herb up to 60 cm (24 inches) tall. Pinkish or white flowers are borne in a terminal raceme.[5][6][7][8]
The species is quite variable, with some recognizing 5 varieties[9] and others not recognizing any subspecific taxa.[10]
