Hymenocallis choctawensis is a plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, with the common name Florida panhandle spider-lily. It grows along streambanks and in swamp forests of western Florida, eastern Louisiana, and southern parts of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.[2][3]
The species is often misidentified as H. caroliniana or H. occidentalis. It can be distinguished from those species by its rhizomatous bulb and triangular bracts.[2]
