Name: Minuartia glabra - Talinum spp. - Diamorpha smallii Saturated Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
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.
