Phemeranthus mengesii
Also called Menges' Rock Pink, Large Flowered Rock Pink
Phemeranthus mengesii, commonly known as the large-flowered rock-pink, is a species of flowering plant in the family Montiaceae. It is a perennial herb endemic to the southeastern United States, where it grows in shallow soils on exposed granite, sandstone, and Altamaha Grit outcrops, often in sites wetted by seepage.
Its range extends from western and central South Carolina through Georgia to northern Alabama and south-central Tennessee. Although rare across much of its range, it may be locally common at some Georgia rock outcrops.
