Domain's Federally Endangered Pant

Block Fellows, Rob and Oliver, join Todd Crabtree (State Botanist) and Dr. Evans on an assessment of the Domain populations of Clematis morefieldii. Todd conducts these surveys every 3 years. The populations were intact and flowering.

On this trek into the far reaches of the Domain, we also discovered a newly named species of Jack-In-The-Pulpit: Arisaema pusillum - was Arisaema triphyllum ssp. pusillum. Todd believes this new species will likely be recognized in the next TN Flora. Regardless its a new taxon for the Domain!

It has an elongated spathe and the undersides of the leaves are green rather than white. It was found in a wet seep on the western escarpment of the Domain.
