Echeandia chandleri
Chandler's craglily is an endangered, bulb-forming perennial from south Texas and northeast Mexico, with grass-like leaves and small yellow or orange flowers. It is grown mainly by specialist native-plant gardeners and needs open, sunny, well-drained conditions.
Echeandia chandleri, also known as Chandler's craglily or lila de los llanos, is an endangered species of flowering plant endemic to southern Texas in the United States and adjacent Tamaulipas, Mexico. It is estimated to exist in less than 25 distinct sites, with under 100,000 individual plants left in the wild.
Echeandia chandleri is confined to three Southern Texas counties (Cameron, Nueces, and Kleberg) and in parts of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Its native habitats in these areas are various open grasslands, chaparral, and brush. It prefers clay soils.
