Sagittaria chapmanii (J.G. Smith) C. Mohr. clade: Graminea Group, Graminea Complex. Chapman's Arrowhead. Phen: May-Sep. Hab: Limesink (doline) ponds with drawdown hydrology, mucky ditches. Dist: E. NC south to s. FL, west to e. LA. First reported for SC by Nelson & Kely (1997). reports from west of the Mississippi River are based on misidentifications of S. platyphylla.
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
Taxonomy Comments: Analyses of allozyme variation in the S. graminea complex revealed great differentiation between S. graminea, S. chapmanii, and S. platyphylla; S. graminea and S. platyphylla appeared to be more closely related to one another than either was to S. chapmanii (Hauber & Legé 1999). Therefore, it seems best to treat these three taxa at equal rank and at the species level.
