Notes
12/3/25 TE: This taxa (considered as "Polypodium virginianum complex" due to taxonomic uncertainty with hybridizations) has variously been treated as present or 'false report' in park over the years. At this time, returned it to "Present" based on several vouchered specimens that appear to key best here. Further work is needed, especially if it can be confirmed with a genetic sample.
Park Species Detail: The follwing are additional fields from one of the sources for this ParkCode/TSN combination: State-County Code = 37075 ATBI Sensitivity = Public, Park Species Data Source: Plant list compiled by BONAP from its County Database, and converted to NPSpecies by I&M Office.
