Name: Croton michauxii var. ellipticus - Minuartia glabra - Packera tomentosa Piedmont Flatrock Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This vegetation occupies granitic domes and flatrocks in the southern Piedmont of the United States. Examples are primarily dominated by <i>Croton michauxii var. ellipticus, Minuartia glabra, Packera tomentosa, Schizachyrium scoparium</i>, and <i>Phemeranthus</i> spp. Some examples may also have <i>Minuartia uniflora</i> (from southern North Carolina southwards) and other annuals, including <i>Diamorpha smallii</i>, which may have high cover in patches. This group 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. This vegetation is restricted to granitic domes and flatrocks in the southern Piedmont of the southern United States from Alabama to Virginia. Examples may include 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.
