Eubotrys racemosa
Eubotrys recurva
Eubotrys racemosa occurs primarily on the coastal plain; there are scattered records inland from the Hudson Highlands of New York, and from northern Alabama and central and eastern Tennessee.

The occurrence of Eubotrys recurva in New York state, in mixed oak woods on Long Island, may represent naturalized plants, rather than a native population. Records from Ohio may also represent escaped plants.
