Photographer: Cressler, Alan
County: Dawson State: GA Location Notes: Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area, Wildcat Creek Tract. Accession date: 2016-07-08 Filename: A_C_IMG4156.JPG Slide Index: 22611065952_ae79a7c507_o.JPG Restrictions: Unrestricted Collection: Wildflower Center Digital Library
Original Format: Digital Orientation: Landscape Shot: Close-up of flowers. Photographer's note: "Open flowers. My original identification was Harvestbells. I had never seen the flowers open so wide. After a little more study, I decided there was a possibility it could be Elliott's Gentian (Gentiana catesbaei). I consulted with Steve Bowling and after he looked at Weakley's Flora decided it was a possibility. The flora reports Piedmont collections. Today, Steve and I found a typical G. saponaria location and got a good look. We continued to the Wildcat location to compare. The plants at the Wildcat location unfortunately don't key well to either. For now I will stay with Gentiana saponaria." Date Taken: 2015-10-30 NPIN Image Id: 47128
