Allegheny Chinquapin (Castanea pumila (L.) Mill.)

Also known as American chinquapin, Allegheny chinkapin, American chinkapin, dwarf chestnut.

Some authorities, including USDA PLANTS, lump ozark chinquapin (Castanea ozarkensis) in with this species, treating it as a variety. We separate them, per POWO's treatment.

This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.

This species has been introduced by planting into a few areas north of its native range; we mark these new populations as expanded because of proximity to the native range.
