Soil and climate contribute to maintenance of a flower color polymorphism
Spatial variation in abiotic stressors may contribute to the maintenance of flower color variation across the geographic range of L. parviflorus. Future studies will examine mechanisms by which flower color affects stress tolerance and will assess whether fitness trade-offs in contrasting habitats across the range are associated with flower color.
