Description[edit]
Toxicoscordion paniculatum is a flowering bulb plant that grows 20–70 centimeters tall when blooming.[2]
Taxonomy[edit]
The first scientific description of Toxicoscordion paniculatum was by Thomas Nuttall in 1834 with the name Helonias paniculata. This was followed by proposed moves to Gomphostylis in 1837 and to Zigadenus in 1871. Per Axel Rydberg proposed moving it and several other species to the new genus Toxicoscordion in 1903.[1] This classification was not widely accepted until 2002, when it was resurrected on the basis of genetic evidence.[3]
As of 2024[update] the classification as Toxicoscordion paniculatum is widely accepted, including by Plants of the World Online,[1] World Flora Online,[4] and the World Plants database.[5] However, it continues to be listed as Zigadenus paniculatus in many other resources like the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service PLANTS database (PLANTS) and the Flora of North America.[6][2]
