Default Short Field Takeoff Speeds

My Piper Warrior has a Vx of 63KIAS. The short field takeoff performance chart lists a barrier speed of 55KIAS. At first I thought this was because the POH recommends 25 flaps for the short field takeoff. But I noticed the 0 flap normal takeoff performance chart has the same barrier speed.

Does anyone know the difference between Vx and the short field performance barrier speed?
