VA south to n. SC. |  |
| Diapensiaceae | Pyxidanthera barbulata var. brevifolia | Sandhill Pyxiemoss, Wells's Pyxiemoss, Little Pyxie | On xeric sandhills, generally over deep sand, sand-clay mixtures, or plinthite, near the summits or on the upper slopes of sandhills, restricted to the Fall-line Sandhills region. | This species is endemic to a six-county area of the Fall-line Sandhills of NC and SC.
