Glossary (beta)

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: A. ×ebenoides is a sterile hybrid (chromosome complement symbolized PR). In AL, however, one population in Hale County has undergone chromosome doubling and is a fertile allotetraploid (PPRR), now treated as A. tutwilerae. Populations of "A. ×ebenoides", especially if consisting of many individuals, should be checked for fertile spores to be sure they are not A. tutwilerae.
