Treatment and mapping remains uncertain. This species has been recognized mostly in ne. Ala. (Weakley et al. 2011), but it probably extends into Tenn. and Ky. on the Cumberland Plateau. Some colls. mapped here from LAUR, MCRE, PULA, JACK and ?ROWA (APSC, GH, KY, EKY) are tentatively included here. These plants are mostly from rocky river banks, and have been misidentified as molle in some cases (B). They have relatively large flat suborbicular leaves (broadly truncate to subcordate), which are mostly glabrous, but with petioles that are somewhat stellate-pubescent on margins and stipulate; glands are usually present on petioles and inflorescence branches. There are similar colls. from se. Ohio (GH: Scioto Co., banks of Turkey Creek) and e. Tenn. (GH, EK, TENN: Coffee, Cumberland, Morgan & Scott Cos.). However, some of these plants may be closer to deamii (as indianense), and M> Brock (APSC) has favored combining both alabamense with deamii and perhaps even with V. carolinianum Ashe of the southern Blue Ridge ravines (W).
