Clasping warea is found in only 5 central Florida counties. The flowers form in crowded terminal clusters somewhat globular shaped. Maturing from the bottom up they are whitish, turning rose-purple on long pedicels. The individual flowers are 1.25cm (~1/2 in.) across with four paddle-shaped petals and six long stamens. The fruit is a thin pod 7-8cm (~3 in.) long called a silique. The leaves are heart-shaped and clasp the stem.
