Abstract

The federally threatened species Geocarpon minimum is documented for the flora of Oklahoma for the first time. Approximately 500 individuals were found at four sandstone glade sites near Skiatook Lake in Osage County, Oklahoma. This manuscript describes G. minimum habitat and distribution in Oklahoma and throughout the rest of its range.
