Notes
2025-09-25: Updated from Probably Present to Present using Data Source: 2010 Perles, ERMN Veg Monitoring, RefCode-664378. Park Species Detail: See synonyms Aster lateriflorus (TSN# 35601) and Aster vimineus (TSN# 193168) to view additional species evidence. Since Melton also reports Aster lateriflorus, presumably he was using Aster vimineus to refer to what we now call Symphyotrichum racemosa., Park Species Data Source: Jennifer Stingelin Keefer, NPSpecies Data Manager, 8/1/2007., Accepted Detail: Steve Grund, Botanist, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy
