Piedmont Sandwort

A species of Sandwort, presumably the Piedmont Sandwort, also called One-flower Stitchwort. It has several Latin synonyms, often called Minuartia uniflora, but recently renamed Geocarpon uniflorum. This species is a common resident of shallow depressions on granite flatrock exposures. It typically colonizes soils just slightly deeper and dryer than the places colonized by Elf Orpine.

 

Location: Camp Meeting Rock, a property owned by The Nature Conservancy in the western piedmont of Georgia.
