Name: Diamorpha smallii - Minuartia glabra Sandstone Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association is a type of Cumberland Sandstone Flatrock Glade. This annual herbaceous community is a zonal component of sandstone flatrock communities of the southern Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee (Franklin, Grundy, Putnam, and Marion counties) and possibly adjacent Alabama and Georgia. The community is limited to hollowed-out areas in sandstone outcrops in which water seasonally collects. <i>Diamorpha smallii</i> and <i>Minuartia glabra</i> are characteristic plants of this association. <i>Diamorpha</i> is at least a seasonal aspect dominant. Examples are known from the vicinity of the University of the South at Sewanee, Franklin County, Tennessee. Similar vegetation may be found in Alabama and possibly in Georgia.
