Sorting exercise: Hexastylis urceolate/rhombic-ovate group

The objective of this exercise is to help you learn to distinguish the three species of Hexastylis in North Carolina that exhibit urceolate or rhombic-ovate flowers: H. contracta, H. rhombiformis, and H. shuttleworthii. Disregard color as you sort. Instead, focus on structural variation of the calyx and gynoecium.
