Lance; 2009 by G. Barrett; and 2017 by J. Chauncey, D. Gunn III, and J. Killion. All collection events were centered around the bluffs and ravines on the eastern side of the Savannah River in Aiken County, South Carolina. Aesculus parviflora is endemic to Alabama, southwest Georgia, and known only to occur in one county (Aiken County) in South Carolina (Chauncey and Gunn, 2017). This provenance is disjunct from the nearest known populations in Georgia and Alabama by nearly 300 km population and is discussed in length by R. Wyatt (1985). Materials provided R. Lance and G. Barrett are representative of isolated regenerations (pollen from outside sources of A. parviflora excluded) in cultivation and materials provided by J. Chauncey et al. represent samples collected as divisions at collection sites (Riverview Park Recreation Center and Savannah River Bluffs Heritage Preserve) in nature. A. parviflora is the last of all Aesculus species to flower, typically occurring in mid-summer and is typically found in rich, moist woodlands under partial or full shade, as a dense, suckering multi-stemmed shrub reaching 1 to 4 meters tall. | 1910573 | NA 76639 |
