Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: Sabatia quadrangula and S. calycina came out as somewhat unresolved in a genus-wide phylogeny for the e. US, perhaps originating from reticulation events (Matthews et al. 2015); more research is needed to disentangle the origin of these two taxa.
