Gee Whiz: | This the species was only known from a single population in Alexander County discovered by John Schwegman, but another population was discovered in 2019 in Pope County by Chris Evans, Caleb Grantham, and Nick Seaton. There are often large, clonal populations that don't regularly produce viable fruit. |
