Valerianella nuttallii - Nuttall corn-salad
Family: Valerianaceae
| Status: |
Global Rank: G1G2 State Rank: S1 |
Habitat: Open shale glades, shale woodlands, and prairies with shale substrate.
Flowering Date: April - May
Fruiting Date: May - June
Causes for Concern: Nuttall corn-salad is endemic to the Ouachita Mountains and Arkansas Valley of western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. It is strongly correlated with open shale glades and prairies with shale substrate. It is threatened with the mining of shale glades for fill material, encroachment of glade habitat by woody plants (especially eastern red cedar) in the absence of fire, and the conversion of prairie to non-native pasture grasses.
Global Range: The Ouachita Mountains and Arkansas Valley of western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.
