This name has been applied to apomictic polyploids (2n = 30) with probable origin from hybrids of typical album with either sessilifolium or other species (FNA 21, W). These plants occur mostly in or near southern Appalachian regions. There has been confusion with godfreyanum; see notes under that name. There are only a few tentative records of vaseyi from Ky.: a coll. of R. Athey from CALL (Florida State Univ., TENN) det. by R.K. Godfrey; Cranfill's (1990) record from HARD; B's records of var. monardifolium Fern. from EDMO and GRAY; and recent coll. from GRAY by R. Seymour (pers. comm.). This concentration in the Shawnee Hills is remarkable.
