Lucky dog! :D

You may already know that D. ochrophaeus has been divided into several species, with four occurring in western NC; D. orestes in the northwest corner south to Roane Mountain, D. carolinensis from Roane south to just morth of the Smokies, and D. ocoee in the Smokies and southward; D. imitator in the Smokies, Balsams, and Plott Balsams is also part of this group. There may be several other species lurking within this complex, and they can only be reliably distinguished electrophoretically.

Systematics is fun!
