I saw a plant on my New Year's day hike that really caught my attention.
Unfortunately, I didn't take a sample back to id and didn't check to see
if the leaves are alternate or not; however, I do remember that the
leaves were entire, seemed to form somewhat of a rosette pattern near
the terminal ends, the leaves and stems have a quality similar to that
of a succulent plant, and it was creeping and growing on mossy rocks mid
trail in a moist, wooded environment in Pisgah National Forest in
Western North Carolina. Any possible clues to point me in the right
general direction for id'ing this plant? If not, I'll have to make a
trip back out there to collect a specimen to check it out further since
I'm very enamored by this plant. I have a Newcomb's Wildflower guide but
I'm not finding it helpful in this particular instance since I'm not
even sure that it is something that flowers and obviously wouldn't be
flowering this time of year even if it were.
