Geocarpon uniflorum, the one-flower stitchwort, is a small annual of the pink family native to the Piedmont of the southeastern United States. It grows on sandy or granitic rock outcrops, so it is a wild plant rather than a common garden subject.
Geocarpon uniflorum, the one-flower stitchwort, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to the Southeastern United States where it is primarily found in the Piedmont. Its preferred habitat is sandy or granitic rock outcrops.
The plants formerly referred to as Minuartia alabamensis have been shown to be a self-pollinating form of Geocarpon uniflorum that has arisen independently at various locations, and it is thus included under this species. Genetic evidence suggested that this species is best placed in the genus Mononeuria, although that classification was not widely adopted. In 2022 it was placed in genus Geocarpon.
