Abstract
ABSTRACT Three recent collections of Solanum pseudocapsicum represent the first documentation of this species from Alabama in 27 years, and apparently represent the only extant populations. The habitat of these collections appears to be different from that previously documented in Alabama, although it is not unusual range-wide. Solanum pseudocapsicum was last collected from Alabama in 1993 from Houston County, but searches of that location failed to relocate it. Previously it had been collected from Tallapoosa County (1877), Morgan County (1891), Lee County (1896), and Coosa County (1900), all in upland or ruderal habitats. In 2020 a small population of four plants was discovered on a floodplain near the confluence of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers and a second larger population of approximately 28 plants was located 10 km to the SW on the floodplain of the Alabama River, both in Elmore County. A third population of several dozen plants was discovered on the floodplain of the Tallapoosa River in Montgomery County.
期刊介绍：
Castanea is named in honor of the American Chestnut tree. Castanea is thebotanical name for Chestnuts, dating back to what the ancient Greeks calledthem.
The American Chestnut is a critically endangered tree that once made up 35%of the forests of the Eastern US before being devastated by a blight thatdestroyed up to 4 billion American Chestnut trees.
Castanea serves professional and amateur botanists by reviewing andpublishing scientific papers related to botany in the Eastern United States.
We accept papers relating to plant biology, biochemistry, ecology, floristics,physiology and systematics.
