Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: Grubbs, Small, & Schilling (2009) discuss the genetics of E. sessilifolium; most of the species’ distribution consists of agamospermous triploids, with sexual diploids only known from two disjunct areas of the southern Appalachians (w. VA, and w.NC-e. TN). There may be merit to the taxonomic recognition of the diploids and the triploids.
