Name: Croton michauxii var. ellipticus - Minuartia glabra - Phemeranthus spp. Piedmont Open Flatrock Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This vegetation is dominated by <i>Croton michauxii var. ellipticus, Minuartia glabra, Packera tomentosa, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Phemeranthus</i> spp., with <i>Diamorpha smallii</i> having high cover in some examples. Some examples may also have <i>Cyperus granitophilus, Minuartia glabra, Minuartia uniflora</i> (from southern North Carolina southwards), and other annuals, including <i>Diamorpha smallii</i>, which may have high cover in patches. This alliance also includes seepage areas with greater seasonal moisture availability which contain or are dominated by <i>Portulaca smallii</i> and <i>Phemeranthus teretifolius</i>, with <i>Lindernia monticola</i> present in some occurrences. It is restricted to granitic domes and flatrocks in the southern Piedmont of the southern United States from Alabama to Virginia. Examples may include ephemeral pools, shallow depressions, and/or seepage areas, as well as the surrounding dry-mesic and dry woodlands. Moisture levels are variable with the seasons, and exhibit some variation among stands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39172-{F6FE0F08-7980-44A3-9668-88E2E3E70B8C} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
