Pectis linearifolia (Florida cinchweed) is a summer blooming annual plant and is a genus of pectis. Although the plant exhibits the ecology of an introduced non-native plant, it is known with certainty only from south Florida, and must be regarded as native in view of current distribution data. It has also reputedly been found in Jamaica, but the Jamaican reports are evidently somewhat doubtful.[1][2]
