|discussion=<p>Of conservation concern.</p><!--
--><p><i>Neviusia alabamensis</i> has been recommended for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act. The species is known currently from five southeastern states; a population known earlier from Poplar Bluff, Missouri, has been extirpated (D. M. Moore 1956).</p><!--
--><p>The disjunct populations appear to be relicts from a former more widespread distribution and perhaps were associated with mesophytic forests during the Tertiary (A. A. Long 1989). It also has been suggested that <i>Neviusia alabamensis</i> is an epibiotic taxon that survived the Mississippi embayment since the late Paleozoic or early Mesozoic (D. M. Moore 1956; D. D. Horn and P. Somers 1981).</p><!--
--><p><i>Neviusia alabamensis</i> has been cultivated as far north as Boston and Chicago since its discovery (J. R. Shevock et al. 1992). It has been misidentified as <i>Physocarpus opulifolius</i> (D. M. Moore 1956).</p>
