Distribution | Mostly Mountains, disjunct to the lower Piedmont and again to Duplin County.
Native of China; in N.A. southeastern Canada and eastern U.S. south to FL and LA. | |
Abundance | Uncommon in the Mountains, rare elsewhere. | |
Habitat | Rock outcrops, roadside banks, riversides and creekbanks, granitic flatrocks, diabase glades, stone walls, waste ground, "weedy grassy field" (Duplin Co.). Because it grows on flatrocks, and can occur in sizable patches, it can impact native flatrock flora, such as the related Diamorpha smallii. | |
Phenology | Flowering May-June. | |
Identification | Stringy Stonecrop stems lie relatively flat on the ground and may form mats. Leaves are grouped in whorls of 3, narrowly elliptical and tapered to both ends. Flowers grow on semi-erect shoots, in terminal, spreading racemes. Corollas are yellow to pale yellow. | |
