| 1 | NA 88664 | RJL2023PA-001 | Viburnum acerifolium L. | Pennsylvania, United States | NA | | | 2023 | COLLECTED | 10/01/2023 | Seed collected from plants growing along a two-mile stretch of Harmonyville Road on the woodland edge next to the road. [Note: latitude and longitude were collected at the location of the largest seed collection.] | 40.18482200, -75.78145100 | 158 | Plants were growing in well-drained and rocky mesic-dry woodlands from part shade along the road edge to full shade in the understory of the woodlands. Slope: 2-10%. Aspect: Variable. The underlying geology of this area is of Triassic origin and characterized as the Stockton Formation. It is characterized by light-gray to buff, coarse-grained, arkosic sandstone; includes reddish-brown to grayish-purple sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone. (Source: USGS Pennsylvania Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Edgemont Channery Sandy Loam Series (8 to 25 percent slopes), extremely stony. The Edgemont Series consists of deep and very deep, well drained soils formed in the weathered residuum of quartzitic rocks. They have moderately high to high saturated hydraulic conductivity. Slopes range from 0 to 70 percent. Solum thickness ranges from 50 to 10 cm. Depth to bedrock ranges from about 1.5 to 2.2 meters. Kaolinite is the dominant mineral in the clay fraction with detectable amounts of illite, vermiculite, montmorillonite, chlorite and interstratified clays. Gravel, channers, and stone size fragments of quartzite and quartz are present throughout the profile. Rock fragments range from 5 to 40 percent in the horizons of the solum and from 10 to 90 percent in the C horizon. Reaction ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid throughout.

| 2 | WLP 2670 | RJL2022PA-016 | Acer negundo L. | Pennsylvania, United States | NA | | | 2022 | COLLECTED | 10/21/2022 | Plants growing in woodlands above a small unnamed creek that dumps into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek in Goddard Park, West Grove Pennsylvania, off of Wickerton Road, Chester County. Plants are found regularly but scattered in the understory of the woodlands. | 39.80426000, -75.82609300 | 105 | Plants growing in a mesic, well-drained habitat of deciduous woodlands along streams and above the riparian zone that drains toward a small unnamed creek that feeds into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek. Plants generally grow in part shade to full sun, but perform best and fruit more heavily in full sun where there is abundant access to moisture. The remnant woodlands exist mostly along the steep slopes, wetlands and seeps of seasonal and year-round creeks flowing into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek. The woodlands are bordered by numerous housing developments and land converted to meadows; hence there is significant first order edge that is heavily impacted by invasive plant intrusion. Despite this fact, Acer negundo is highly competitive and competes well.
Soils: The underlying geology of this area is the Glenarm Wissahickon Formation of lower Paleozoic origin and lithologically similar to oligoclase-mica schist of the Wissahickon Formation (PZw), but also includes lenticular amphibolite bodies having ocean-floor basalt chemistry.

The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Glenelg silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes. This series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in residuum weathered from micaceous schist on uplands of the Blue Ridge and the Northern Piedmont. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderately high in the subsoil and moderately high to high in the substratum. This upper horizon of this soil is undifferentiated, mostly poorly drained sandy bottomland soils intermingled with decomposing organic litter and eroded silts and clays due to erosion.

Soils: The underlying geology of this area is of Mississippian origin and comprised of Warsaw Formation and Salem Limestone. Major lithological components include limestone that can be shaly, oolitic, bioclastic, or cherty. Minor lithological components include siltstone that can contain geodes or drusy quartz and can be calcareous.

The surface soil profile of this area is Coffeen silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, that are frequently flooded. The Coffeen series consists of very deep, somewhat poorly drained, moderately permeable soils on flood plains, low terraces or benches, toe slopes, and alluvial fans. They formed in silty alluvium. Much of the alluvium is of local origin derived from the nearby loess-covered uplands.

Simmers. Described as a broad-leaved form of M. fistulosa, generally intermediate between M. fistulosa and M. clinopodia, with probable hybrid origin. Typcial habitat is mesic woods and edges on lowlands. In contrast to M. fistulosa, this taxon has longer petioles (usually 2-3 cm versus 0.5-2.0 cm), lower leaf surfaces with scattered spreading hairs, and corollas are paler pink at tips to almost white with peak flowering occurring prior to M. fistulosa by approximately 1-2 weeks. Leaves are rather rugose, where upper leaf tissue between veins is visibly raised. This accession represents genetics from northern Indiana (Potato Creek State Park). Plants at the collection site in nature peaked flowering near 8 July 2019 where flower colors were more lavender in sun but pale in shade (Namestnik, S., personal communication, 15 July 2020). Peak fruiting occurs mid-August. Average height of plants sampled in nature estimated at 4.5' in height. | 2097752 | Ames 35216 |
