Description: Vegetation in this alliance occurs in ephemeral pools, shallow depressions, and/or seepage areas on large granite outcrops in the Piedmont from Alabama to Virginia, and also occurs locally as a zonal component of sandstone flatrock vegetation in the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. ~Diamorpha smallii$ is dominant and will have high cover in some examples. Some examples may also have ~Minuartia glabra, Minuartia uniflora$ (from southern North Carolina southwards), ~Cyperus granitophilus$, and other annuals. This alliance also includes seepage areas with greater wetness which contain or are dominated by ~Talinum teretifolium$ and ~Portulaca smallii$, with ~Lindernia monticola$ present in some occurrences.
