T. parviflora is a segregate of T. gallica L., which has been broadly interpreted in older literature (W). This tree of the eastern Mediterranean region may just be cultivated in Ky. (M). However, details of colls. from JEFF (JEF, NCU) need checking; and K maps gallica in BULL. Also, R. Dunlap (pers. comm.) has observed a species of Tamarix on a sandbar in the Mississippi River in FULT. Plants reported as T. chinensis Lour. have been reported along banks of the Missouri Rv. and central Mississippi Rv. (K). Further checking of identifications is needed across North America.
