Phlox diffusa
With over 70 species, Phlox is the largest genus in Polemoniaceae. It is almost entirely native to North America, although one species, P. sibirica, also occurs in Asia. The genus is taxonomically complex. Some of this complexity, especially in the mat-forming species of western North America may be the result of recurrent polyploidy in the genus.
