Narrative

Update on 1995 F. virginiana Collections in the Southeastern USA James R. Ballington and Jerry A. Payne As noted earlier the collections, for which funding was approved for 1995, will not be completed until September. However, I would like to include a brief update of the trips to South Carolina and southeastern Louisiana/Mississippi. The trip to eastern 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. Fragaria virginiana from the one verified Coastal Plain location is currently growing in a garden near Lexington, SC, and we were also provided plants of this accession. Twelve accessions of Vaccinium spp., four of Gaylussacia frondosa, and one of Rubus argutus were also collected. The trip to southeastern Louisiana and the state of Mississippi was more successful, but Fragaria virginiana was not abundant in these areas either, and 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. viriniana were collected from east central and northeastern Mississippi. The species most commonly occurred in small outcroppings of prairie in these regions. Such areas are characterized by a very thin layer of 'usually' sticky black soil over decaying limestone, and a scattered to dense overstory of Juniperus virginiana. Within such prairies, F. 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. The results of these two collecting 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 areas such as the coastal plain of South Carolina, southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana, or is more time simply needed for exploration in such areas? Are current agricultural and forestry practices responsible for its apparent decline in numbers in these areas? In Greenwood State Park in South Carolina, the species was pioneering on bare ground two years after clearcutting. Yet in Mississippi it was not found in such areas, although one herbarium specimen came from the edged of wildlife food plot (a similarly disturbed area). A final point of interest is that people in almost every area told us how abundant wild strawberries were on their property or generally in their region, but these almost always turned out to be either Duchesnea indica, or Potentilla canadensis. The abundance of these two species was about what we had hoped for F. virginiana. Why does F. virginiana appear to be a much poorer competitor than either D. indica or P. canadensis? Unfortunately, collections to date present more questions than answers. However, I think they also point out the pressing need for continued collecting in the southeastern region.
