Narrative
South Carolina was extremely frustrating, by the middle of the week we had only verified the existence of one location for Fragaria virginiana in the Coastal Plain, so we moved over into the southern piedmont. Three accessions were located in the Edgefield District of Sumter National Forest and four in Greenwood State Park. The one verified Coastal Plain location is in a garden near Lexington, SC. Twelve accessions of Vaccinium spp., four of Gaylussacia frondosa, and one of Rubus argutus were also collected. Southeastern Louisiana and Mississippi were more successful, but not abundant in these areas either. No accessions were found south of Starkville, MS. Specific previous sites were visited near Hattisburg and Laurel, MS, but F. virginiana was no longer present. A total 33 accessions of F. virginiana were collected from east central and northeastern MS, occurring in small outcroppings of prairie; characterized by a very thin layer of 'usually' sticky black soil over decaying limestone with scattered to dense overstory of Juniperus virginiana. Fragaria virginiana was often found growing directly under J. virginiana where little other vegetation occurred. Dr. Sidney McDaniel of Mississippi State University refers to these areas as 'cedar prairie woodlands'. In addition to F. virginiana, 14 accessions of Vaccinium spp. and two accessions Rubus flagellaris were also collected. These trips raise serious questions concerning the status of Fragaria virginiana in the southeastern US. Is it really as rare as it appears to be? In Greenwood State Park in South Carolina, the species was pioneering on bare ground two years after clearcutting. In Mississippi it was not found in such areas, although one herbarium specimen came from the edged of wildlife food plot. People in almost every area told us how abundant wild strawberries were on their property or in their region, but these almost always turned out to be either Duchesnea indica, or Potentilla canadensis.
