On the thin-soiled limestone glades East of Nashville grow a number of rare plant species that grow in no other habitat in the world, the most notable of which being Echinacea tennesseensis, along with Linum sp., Euphorbia corollata, Euploca tenella, Agalinis tenuifolia, Schizachyrium scoparium, and more.
In the shady parts of the glade we encounter Phemeranthus calycinus, Polymnia canadensis, Opuntia cespitosa, Sedum pulchellum and more.

Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
