About

Phlox cuspidata, the pointed phlox, is a species of flowering plant in the family Polemoniaceae, native to the US states of Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana. An annual reaching 25 cm (10 in), its hybridization dynamics with and partial reproductive isolation from Phlox drummondii are the subject of scientific inquiry.
