Castanea pumila (L.) Mill.
CHINQUAPIN
**
Castanea pumila s.lat. (Johnson 1988) appears to form a well supported clade (Spriggs & Fertakos 2020; Perkins et al. 2021) that encompasses a wide range of growth forms that may integrade. Kurz & Godfrey (1962) felt the two arborescent taxa were “reasonably clear-cut” and the stoloniferous taxon was definitely “not associated” with C. floridana. Further, C. pumila s.str. is apparently absent from Florida (Ashe 1922; Ward 2000). Jaynes (1964) made successful crosses between C. pumila s.str. and both C. alnifolia and C. ashei (not attempted with C. floridana).
