Mapping here is provisional; see notes under F. americana sensu stricto and F. biltmoreana var. subcoriacea (= F. smallii). Typical biltmoreana occurs widely in eastern states south of the Great Lakes and New England, and may be most frequent on rocky soils in the Ohio Rv. watershed and in the Ridge-and-Valley region (Nesom 2010c). Fresh twigs, petioles and rachises are densely to sparsely hairy; lower leaflet surfaces are usually covered with dense hairs, but in a few colls. hairs are confined to midribs and primary veins. Typical biltmoreana tends to be concentrated on relatively dry sites. In Ky. it appears to be about as frequent as var. subcoriacea, based on provisional examination of colls. at KY and EKY. However, flowering or fruiting specimens form only ca. 10% of the colls. in those herbaria; compare data noted under var. subcoriacea. This taxon is sometimes planted, including the cultivar "Urbanite" (Campbell 2017).
