There are colls. from JEFF (KNK), LAUR (BEREA) and MADI (CW), but the contexts are unclear. They need checking to see if truly naturalized, as opposed to planted. F. alnus is widely naturalized in more northern states and adjacent Canada, but remains virtually unknown as an escape in southeastern states (K, PL, SE, W).
