Habitat: Circumneutral rock outcrops and adjacent glades and woodlands, also in disturbed areas (in DE).

Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: Ownbey (1947) had no records of Southern Appalachian populations of C. micrantha, and considered "ssp. micrantha" to range no farther east than IL and MO; RAB included montane populations in ssp. australis, stating "this is the only [subspecies] in our range." Morphologically, however, these populations closely resemble C. micrantha; their association in the Brushy Mountains with other species disjunct from western or prairie ranges (Anemone berlandieri, Arabis pycnocarpa, Pellaea wrightiana) provides phytogeographic corroboration. Reported as non-native in DE (Longbottom, Naczi, & Knapp 2016).
