The Distribution and Reproductive Phenology of the Milkweeds (Asclepiadaceae: \u3ci\u3eAsclepias\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eCynanchum\u3c/i\u3e) in Nebraska
The Asclepiadaceae are represented in Nebraska by seventeen native species of Asclepias and one of Cynanchum. Two species are here added to the State\u27s flora: Asclepias asperula and A. purpurascens. Detailed county distribution maps are presented for all species based upon our extensive field and herbarium work, and numerous additions and corrections are made to the maps published in the Atlas of the Flora of the Great Plains in 1977. A map is presented showing the zone of hybridization of A. speciosa with A. syriaca in central Nebraska. Data are given on flowering and fruiting phenology for each species, and floral odors are described
