Article title: Richland Balsam
Article Evaluation: The content is relevant to the article but needs to be expanded in general. The article has citations, but only three. Pretty much just a summary paragraph. Needs more sections. Its a start/stub article that relates to Appalachia so it may be a good fit. Possible new divisions: Name origin, plant/tree life native, hiking trails, relation to the blue ridge parkway
