Notes
10/27/25 TE: Varieties of R. fulgida were elevated to species rank in Weakley 2024, so that R. fulgida var. fulgida is now just R. fulgida. This may lead to some imperfect taxa matching, as former records not assigned to variety (with R. fulgida var. umbrosa = R. umbrosa being the other possible variety), may now point here as well. Park Species Detail: RangeCode = lo; Range = Low elevations-850ft.-2,500ft. ATBI Sensitivity = Public, Park Species Data Source: White et.al. 1982-98
