American Pricklyash is an endangered species in Maryland with less than ten known populations in the state. It is endangered because of habitat loss. Invasive species have a heavy impact on American Pricklyash causing the species to be displaced in many of its former strongholds. The Frederick County population is considered extirpated (MD DNR, 2017).
Look for American Pricklyash along cliffs, outcrops, glades over limestone and calcareous shale formations.
Used by Giant Swallowtail as a host plant.
