Plants accessed by foot along trails throughout property.39.57400900, -74.9360240032Plants growing in shade to part-shade of a mesic to mesic-dry woodland habitat that is mostly deciduous, but also includes pine overstory. Slope: N/A. Aspect: N/A. Soils: The underlying geology of this area is of Middle Miocene, Serravallian origin and characterized as an Cohansey Formation. It is comprised of sand, white to yellow with local gravel and clay. Locally stained red or orange brown by iron oxides and (or) cemented into large blocks of ironstone. Unweathered clay is typically dark gray, but commonly weathers white where interbedded with thin beds of ironstone. Unit is a complex of interfingering marine and nonmarine facies. Sand is typically medium grained and moderately sorted although it ranges from fine to very coarse grained and from poorly to well sorted. Sand consists of quartz and siliceous rock fragments. Some beds are locally micaceous. In general, the sand is crossbedded, although the style of crossbedding varies significantly with the paleoenvironment. Trough crossbedding predominates, especially in the nonmarine channel fill deposits, and the scale of the crossbeds varies from small to large. Maximum thickness in the map area is about 60 m; however, thickness is difficult to determine because of the irregular basal contact and extensive post-depositional erosion. There is as much as 18 m of relief along the basal contact. The basal contact is sharp, undulatory, and directly overlain by a thin gravel bed. The Cohansey Formation unconformably overlies the Kirkwood Formation and is found in channels cut down into the Kirkwood. Where the Kirkwood consists of sandy, light-colored sediments, the basal contact of the Cohansey is drawn below crossbedded sediments. Where the Kirkwood consists of dark-colored silty beds, the basal contact is drawn between light-colored Cohansey sediments and the underlying dark-colored sediments. The Cohansey was markedly thinned because of erosion prior to deposition of overlying units in the western and southern parts of the southern sheet. The unit has been extensively eroded and stripped from large areas of the New Jersey Coastal Plain, particularly in the central sheet where outliers are common. In spite of its widespread nature, the Cohansey is poorly exposed because of its loose sandy composition, which causes it to erode easily. (Source: USGS New Jersey Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in the location of this collection is classified as Downer loamy sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes, Northern Coastal Plain. Downer Series soils are very deep, well-drained soils that are coarse-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, mesic Typic Hapludults. The upper strata of Downer Series from 0 to 25 cm is dark grayish brown, brown loamy sand that is dry with weak fine granular structure. It is very friable and strongly acid. Lower strata from 25 to 76 cm are yellowish brown single grain, loose loamy sand with few extremely weakly cemented masses of oxidized iron in the lower part. This layer is very strongly acid.

The site is currently dry but, based on the associated vegetation, has periods of moisture on or near the surface. Slope: N/A. Aspect: N/A. The underlying geology of this area is of Pleistocene origin and characterized as Waccamaw Formation. This formation is another Carolina coastalized terrace that is deeply weathered. It is characterized by unconsolidated, coarse-detrital, soft sand limestones and loose gray to buff fine quartz sands in which occasional small quartz pebbles are present. It also includes sedimentary, carbonate, soft limestones. (Source: USGS South Carolina Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in this collection area is classified as Lynn Haven Series sand. The Lynn Haven Series consists of very deep, poorly and very poorly drained, moderate or moderately rapid, permeable soils in low areas and depressions in Atlantic Flatwoods and the Gulf. They formed in thick deposits of sandy marine sediments. Th Lynn Haven Series soil is approximately 2 m thick and ranges from black near the surface to yellow brown in the deepest strata. Most of the strata are comprised of fine sands that are friable with the deepest strata also including a small percentage of organic matter. Reaction ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid throughout the profile. The water table is at 0-15 cm for periods of 2 to 6 months annually and within a depth 1 m for more than 6 months during most years; during extended dry periods it is below 1 meter. Depressional areas are ponded for long duration in most years. (Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey.)Wild material2159150NA 88722

Maryland, United StatesNA2022COLLECTED11/04/2022Plants are growing on both sides of a fire road on Maryland Heights along the edge with Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. This location was accessed from the east where Miller Avenue meets the fire road, approximately 2 kilometers away. There is no vehicular access to the collecting area. Becoming locally uncommon. This local population is likely to be extirpated in the next 20-30 years. This collector has hiked through this area for more than 35 years and seen dramatic changes in the population. When first observed, Kalmia latifolia was a dominant understory shrub on south- to west-facing slopes beneath a mature forest canopy. Over the years, at least one forest fire has significantly reduced the population, along with a continuing increase in deer populations, resulting in catastrophic browse damage. The absence of a mature forest canopy and periods of drought have almost certainly also resulted in decline of this population. While collecting seed from scattered mature plants well above deer browse levels, this collector also noted that there was virtually no recruitment taking place.39.32811200, -77.72242400287Plants are growing in part-shade to shade of a deciduous upland, very rocky, and dry forest community. Plants are frequently found growing among boulders, rock outcrops, and steep-slope erosional areas, although, not exclusively.

27NA 88489RJL2022PA-005Kalmia latifolia L. Pennsylvania, United StatesNA2022COLLECTED09/10/2022Plants are growing on the lands of Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. This species is very common and abundant. It is one of the most dominant understory plants in woodlands. This species is a common understory shrub throughout the entire region in upland dry woodland habitats.40.63862000, -75.99071200430Plants are growing primarily in shade to part-shade on a dry-mesic to very dry, well-drained upland/montane habitat characterized by upland mixed deciduous and evergreen forest that is very rocky. All of the plants found in this habitat go through periods of drought during the growing season due to the limited litter/soil layer in which moisture can be held. The underlying geology of this area is of Silurian origin and comprised of Shawangunk Formation. This formation is primarily light- to dark-gray, fine- to very coarse-grained sandstone and conglomerate containing thin shale interbeds.

The surface soil profile of this area is the Hazleton series consists of deep and very deep, well drained soils formed in residuum of acid gray, brown or red sandstone on uplands. The matrix includes a considerable accumulation of thin, flat, coarse fragments of sandstone, limestone, or schist with diameters up to 15 cm. Slope ranges from 0-80%. Permeability is moderately rapid to rapid.
