Field Notes

Description:

This species flowers in the spring and is usually found growing on rocks, cliffs, or logs. The pubescent stem is thought to deter ground insects from reaching its flowers, which would be less effective for pollination than flying insects.

Notes:

Spotted growing near the road on top of Kennesaw Mountain
