Native-status evidence
Combined TN–KY atlas flag: not supplied. A regional flag alone does not settle Tennessee native status.
Combined-source assessment
Tennessee native status unresolved
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.
NC vascular flora: native (NC).
USDA PLANTS: native (L48). L48:N
TN–KY Plant Atlas: unknown (TN–KY).
