Abstract

We applied morphological characters to assess the taxonomic status of the Atlantic Coastal Plain entity within Nabalus albus (L.) Hook. Because Prenanthes alba L. ssp. pallida Milstead was not validly published, we provided a replacement name: Nabalus albus (L.) Hook. var. stramineus Sorrie & LeBlond.
