Discussion
Gibasis pellucida has often been confused with G. geniculata, the only other commonly cultivated species; the leaves of G. geniculata are more pubescent, however, and its filaments are bearded only at the base. For about 10 years G. pellucida was known as G. schiedeana.
Aneilema linearis (Bentham) Woodson, a species of Gibasis, was reported as occurring in Mexico just south of the Big Bend region of Texas (L. H. Shinners 1962). That species is likely to be G. venustula (Kunth) D. R. Hunt (D. R. Hunt 1986c). No specimens have been seen from the United States.
