Middleton, B., and Williams, C.R., 2023, Seed banks of rare Physostegia correllii (Lamiaceae) in Lady Bird Lake, Austin, Texas, U.S.A.: Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, v. 17, no. 1, p. 363–368, https://doi.org/10.17348/jbrit.v17.i1.1301.
The purpose of this data was to determine if viable seeds for the rare plant Physostegia correllii can be collected and germinated from locations where adults have disappeared. The presence of seed banks would suggest it is possible to re-establish historical populations of Physostegia through proper management practices.
