Ozark Chinquapin (Castanea ozarkensis Ashe)

Also known as Ozark chinkapin.

Some authorities, including USDA PLANTS, consider this to be a variety of chinquapin (Castanea pumila), var. ozarkensis (Ashe) Tucker. We follow POWO's scheme of treating it as a separate species, which BONAP also uses.

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.

BONAP lists this species as occurring in, but uncommon in LA, AL, and MS, but FSUS reports that it never occurred in MS and AL and was locally extirpated in LA. Our map reflects FSUS' reports.

↑Notes

This species is generally thought to be more susceptible to blight than chinquapin (Castanea pumila), which has more resistance than the American chestnut (Castanea dentata).
