TAXONOMY :
The currently accepted scientific name for eastern redbud is Cercis
canadensis L. (Fabaceae) [11]. Texas redbud (C. c. var. texensis [Wats]
Hopkins) is recognized by some authorities [34]. Others include Mexican
redbud (C. c. var. mexicana [Rose] Hopkins) [41]. Clark and Bachtell
[14] report, however, that a common opinion among nursery workers is
that the two varieties represent environmentally induced morphologies
(i.e. more leathery leaves in more xeric conditions) and that C. c. var.
texensis and C. c. var. mexicana are all C. c. var. canadensis.
