Description: These are graminoid-dominated communities of often steeply sloping outcrops of felsic to mafic rock in the southern Appalachians, primarily south of the Asheville Basin, North Carolina. The substrate is rocks which are typically small exfoliated (spalled) outcrops surrounded by forests or woodlands, and shrubs and trees may be rooted within an occurrence. Stands are typically strongly dominated by Carex biltmoreana. Associated species can include Krigia montana, Houstonia longifolia (= Houstonia longifolia var. glabra), Schizachyrium scoparium, Diervilla sessilifolia, Melampyrum lineare, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Coreopsis pubescens, Coreopsis major, Dichanthelium dichotomum var. dichotomum (= var. ramulosum), and Dichanthelium acuminatum var. lindheimeri.
