| 0 | Ames 35736 | Horn Prairie Early Blooming | Monarda fistulosa L. | Illinois, United States | NC7 |  | | 2021 | COLLECTED | 08/27/2021 | Horn Prairie Grove located 3.91 miles east, southeast of Ramsey, T8N R1E SE ¼ SW ¼ Sec. 13 | 39.12960100, -89.03759800 | 166 | Very diverse remnant prairie. | Wild material | Accession represents an “early” flowering variant of Monarda fistulosa. Majority of specimens noted have pubescent stems and leaves; peaking flower on 6 June (2021); and measuring 34-36" in height. Generally found in more open, drier habitats in comparison to the “late” flowering more typical form of Monarda fistulosa. Majority of the “late” variants noted at the same locality (Ames 35737) have glabrous stems and leaves; measuring 4-4.5’ in height; peaking flower approximately five weeks later; and typically found in slightly wetter habitats. | 2120340 | Ames 35736 |

| 3 | Ames 35740 | Iroquois County Conservation Area | Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees | Illinois, United States | NC7 |  | Not Available | 2021 | COLLECTED | 08/27/2021 | Iroquois County State Wildlife Area located approximately 4.5 miles northeast of Beaverville T29N R11W NE1/4 Sec. 22 and also NW1/4 Sec. 13 | 40.98890900, -87.58503400 | 195 | Edge of hardwood forest, along roadside. | Wild material | Sassafras albidum is an early successional, vigorously suckering native tree found throughout southeastern North America stretching from eastern Texas to Maine. In Illinois, the species is only found in the southeastern portion (two-thirds) of the state. Sassafras is found in nature typically in dry to slightly mesic woodland edges and fencelines. Sassafrass is dioecious where male and female flowers are on separate plants. Noteble characteristics include oddly shaped leaves; a wide vareity of attractive fall colors (red, orange, or yellow); and stems that have an attractive spicy odor when scratched. Highly prized fruits by birds are single-seeded black drupes with bright red pedicels that mature in late summer. This accession was collected on the northwest edge (USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 5b) of the species range and may potentially contain genetics for winter hardiness exceeding that of typical Sassafras. Specimens sampled in nature ranged from 20-40' in height and 5-8" d.b.h. and the percentage of specimens suspected to be of reproductive age actually noted with fruits at the time of sampling (2021) was estimated at only 5-10%. It is possible that pollination on other potentially female specimens did not occur. During a grow out of seedlings at the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station in Ames, Iowa in 2022, fall color on potted specimens peaked the first week in October. In comparison to Ames 35741, genetics of this accession peaked color 5-7 days prior and seedlings originating from sample 982-3 were all reddish in color, while seedlings from all other samples (982-1 and 982-2) were a mix of yellow; yellow-orange; and reddish-orange. | 2120344 | Ames 35740 |

Nees | Illinois, United States | NC7 |  | Not Available | 2021 | COLLECTED | 08/27/2021 | Jubilee College State Park located approximately 14.0 miles northwest of Peoria, T10N R6E NW1/4 Sec. 26 and also NE1/4 Sec. 27 | 40.82422500, -89.79361000 | 203 | Edge of hardwood forest, along roadside. | Wild material | Sassafras albidum is an early successional, vigorously suckering native tree found throughout southeastern North America stretching from eastern Texas to Maine. In Illinois, the species is only found in the southeastern portion (two-thirds) of the state. Sassafras is found in nature typically in dry to slightly mesic woodland edges and fencelines. Sassafrass is dioecious where male and female flowers are on separate plants. Noteble characteristics include oddly shaped leaves; a wide vareity of attractive fall colors (red, orange, or yellow); and stems that have an attractive spicy odor whenn scratched. Highly prized fruits by birds are single-seeded black drupes with bright red pedicels that mature in late summer. This accession was collected on the extreme northwest edge (USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 5b) of the species range and may potentially contain genetics for winter hardiness exceeding that of typical Sassafras. Specimens sampled in nature ranged from 20-60' in height and 5-12" d.b.h. and the percentage of specimens suspected to be of reproductive age actually noted with fruits at the time of sampling (2021) was estimated at only 5-10%. It is possible that pollination on other potentially female specimens did not occur. A few specimens noted lacked the characteristic lobing of the leaves. During a grow out of seedlings at the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station in Ames, Iowa in 2022, fall color on potted specimens peaked the first week in October. In comparison to Ames 35740, genetics of this accession peaked color approximately 5-7 days later. All seedlings displayed fall colors ranging from yellow; yellow-orange; and reddish-orange. | 2120345 | Ames 35741 |
| 5 | WLP 2484 | AS/TO/2021/017/117 | Thuja occidentalis L. | Illinois, United States | NA |  | | 2021 | COLLECTED | 08/26/2021 | State Route 71 along Illinois River located approximately 1.30 miles southwest of Ottawa, T33N R3E SW1/4 NE1/4 Sec. 15 | 41.33211800, -88.86347300 | 146 | Roadside at top of limestone cliff above Illinois River. | Wild material | Thuja occidentalis is a medium sized, evergreen tree that is native throughout northeastern North America stretching from Minnesota to Maine with scattered distributions in the Appalachian Mountains. In Illinois, Northern White Cedar was formerly listed as a state-threatened species, but delisted in 2004 (Mankowski 2012) and is localized to bluffs and cliffs of St. Peter sandstone and rocky outcroppings. Elsewhere, the species is abundant in sphagnum peat swamps, lake shorelines, and moist woods. This accession was collected on the southwest edge of the species native range and is one of the southern-most, known native localities in Illinois and thus may contain genetics for heat and drought tolerance. Genetics for this accessions were collected from two areas separated by approximately 6.50 miles. | 2120343 | WLP 2484 |
