Name: Heuchera villosa - Asplenium trichomanes - Thalictrum clavatum / Conocephalum conicum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This type occurs on moist, shaded, north-facing cliffs of thin-bedded sedimentary rocks (siltstones and shales). It has sparse to moderately dense cover of vascular plants, and also has substantial coverage of nonvascular plants. Vascular plants root in the horizontal crevices. Most abundant vascular species are Heuchera villosa var. villosa, Asplenium trichomanes ssp. trichomanes, and Thalictrum clavatum. Other vascular species present include Hydrangea arborescens, Rhododendron maximum, Laportea canadensis, Trautvetteria caroliniensis var. caroliniensis, Dryopteris intermedia, Dryopteris marginalis, Polypodium appalachianum, Asplenium montanum, and (rarely) Phegopteris connectilis and Saxifraga caroliniana. Conocephalum conicum is a common and conspicuous nonvascular plant.
