Name: Sedum pulchellum - Phemeranthus calcaricus - Leavenworthia spp. / Nostoc commune Limestone Glade Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This herbaceous community is a zonal component of Nashville Basin (Tennessee) and Moulton Valley (Alabama) Cedar Glades. This vegetation characteristically occupies depressions in the limestone which hold water in the winter and early spring. These areas become desiccated and baked in the heat of summer. Characteristic plants are the annuals <i>Sedum pulchellum</i> and <i>Leavenworthia</i> spp., and the perennial <i>Phemeranthus calcaricus</i>. The characteristic endemic <i>Leavenworthia</i> spp. in Tennessee are <i>Leavenworthia stylosa, Leavenworthia torulosa</i>, and <i>Leavenworthia exigua</i>. The blue-green alga <i>Nostoc commune</i> forms mats. Related vegetation is found in Simpson and Warren counties of Kentucky.
