Native-status evidence
Combined TN–KY atlas flag: N. A regional flag alone does not settle Tennessee native status.
Combined-source assessment
Non-native; listed invasive in Tennessee
A TN-specific UT native-guide page or an exact entry in the Tennessee rare-plant list supports a direct source claim. Otherwise, TN occurrence plus an atlas native flag and exact-name native evidence from NC flora or USDA L48 supports a provisional state inference. No one regional claim or occurrence alone establishes TN nativity; NC and L48 claims retain their actual scopes.
USDA PLANTS: introduced (L48). HI:I L48:I PB:I PB:N PR:I VI:I
TN–KY Plant Atlas: introduced (TN–KY).
