... Mature plants in this population have trunks, with some plants up to nearly nine meters tall (including crowns), and the leaves have large blades that vary from relatively flat to strongly costapalmate, the latter unlike S. minor. Plants in this population have been the source of debate and generally have been included in S. minor (Correll & Johnson 1970, Diggs et al. 2006. Trunk-bearing specimens of S. minor occur occasionally in the western portion of the range of the species, particularly in Louisiana and Texas, where they have been assigned several names, including S. deeringiana Small (1929aSmall ( : 34, 1929bSmall ( , 1933 and S. louisiana (Darby) Bomhard (1935: 44). ...

However, such arborescent individuals are usually just considered robust material of S. minor (Bailey 1944, Correll & Correll 1972, Correll & Johnston 1970, Diggs et al. 2006, Zona 1990, 2000. Vines (1977) placed the Brazoria population in S. louisiana. ...
In a coastal plain forest in eastern Texas, USA, occurs a population of a putative Sabal hybrid, one of few native, putative
palm hybrids in the continental USA. Robust plants with large trunks, they are morphologically dissimilar to the much
smaller and acaulescent plants of S. minor, with which they co-occur. The only other large Sabal species in the USA are
S. mexicana and S. palmetto, with S. mexicana native only to Texas. Using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms
(AFLPs), we sampled several plants of the putative hybrid and its possible parents in order to evaluate its possible hybrid
origin. UPGMA, principal coordinate analysis, and Bayesian analyses indicated that it seems to be a hybrid, but an old
one, with clear genetic distinctiveness. However, these results also suggest a closer affinity of the putative hybrid with S.
minor and S. palmetto than with S. mexicana, excluding the latter species from possible parentage. Results also suggest
that S. minor, despite its wide morphological diversity, is a clearly coherent species with minimal evidence of
introgression, except for Mexican material that appears to be introgressed with S. mexicana. Sabal palmetto may also
possess a complicated genetic history not necessarily reflected in its morphology
Both the Saline and County Line creeks in the upper Neches River basin were habitats where significant numbers of Caddo peoples lived in ancestral times. As with recent studies of the ancestral Caddo archaeology of the nearby Caddo Creek valley and the San Pedro Creek valley, the purpose of this consideration of the known archaeological record of Caddo settlement in the Saline and County Line creek valleys is to explore the nature of their permanent use during the lengthy native history of Caddo peoples in East Texas between ca. A.D. 900-1838.
