Native-status evidence
Combined TN–KY atlas flag: N. A regional flag alone does not settle Tennessee native status.
Combined-source assessment
Native status: sources disagree
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.
