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). CAN:N L48:N SPM:N

TN–KY Plant Atlas: unknown (TN–KY).
