VPI specimens studied by Rodney Dever (WVU, 2014), who identified additional specimens. Their locations are mostly vague, but certainly come from substrates quite different from that at Buffalo Mtn. Further study is warranted if the population can be relocated.
- Habitat
- Thin soils on high-elevation amphibolite outcrops. Initially known in VA only from the summit of Buffalo Mountain in Floyd Co. but now reported from several additional counties.
