Elliott | Tennessee, United States | NC7 | | | 1990 | COLLECTED | | Marion County | 35.17514700, -85.61147300 | | | Wild material | This accession has been confirmed to represent the "southern form" of A. melanocarpa, potentially a new Aronia species. This southern form was originally discovered by Brand et al. 2022 (Ploidy, genetic diversity and speciation of the genus Aronia) and is known for having glabrous stems and leaves and a distinct phyllotaxy than other Aronia species. In addition, plants tend to bloom approximately two weeks later than all other Aronia taxonomic groups and the inflorescences/infructescences are more spreading and extended due to longer peduncles and pedicels within the cyme. Fruit maturity tends to occur 2 to 4 weeks later than tetraploid A. melanocarpa and 4 to 6 weeks later than diploid A. melanocarpa. Phenolic levels are much higher in comparison to other A. melanocarpa accessions (Brand et al., 2017 - Anthocyanins, total phenolics, ORAC and moisture content of wild and cultivated dark-fruited Aronia species.) | 1061505 | PI 603106 |

This southern form was originally discovered by Brand et al. 2022 (Ploidy, genetic diversity and speciation of the genus Aronia) and is known for having glabrous stems and leaves and a distinct phyllotaxy than other Aronia species. However, this accession based on Brand et al. 2022 AFLP dendogram fits with diploid A. melanocarpa, but flow cytometry indicates it is tetraploid. Fruits tend to ripen the same time as diploid A. melanocarpa and three weeks ahead of tetraploid A. melanocarpa. | 1942831 | Ames 33745 |

This collection likely represents material from a single clonal, suckering patch. According to G. Yatskievych (prior Curator/Director Flora of Missouri Project, currently Botanist/Curator at Plant Resources Center, University of Texas at Austin), Aronia melanocarpa has only been found in Missouri in Stoddard County, specifically in the Crowley's Ridge area, where it occurs along the margins of acid seeps and spring branches. It is unclear why it has never been reported in other acidic wetlands in southeastern Missouri.
