Name: Saxifraga michauxii Acidic Outcrop Barrens
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a broadly defined type which encompasses a diversity of sloping rock outcrops at low to medium elevations in the Southern and Central Appalachians, with <i>Saxifraga michauxii</i> as a characteristic component. Other species are variable, but may include <i>Saxifraga virginiensis, Saxifraga micranthidifolia, Carex</i> spp., <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and others. This community shows some relationship to the others in this alliance, ~<i>Saxifraga michauxii - Carex misera - Schizachyrium scoparium</i> Rocky Grassland Alliance (A1621)$$, but it lacks most or all of the rare endemic species which are important components of the other types.
