Name: Diphylleia cymosa - Saxifraga micranthidifolia - Laportea canadensis Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: A characteristic association of shaded seeps of the southern Appalachian Mountains, usually with overhanging canopies though trees not rooted in the seep itself. Often not large enough to be readily mappable, but a distinctive habitat for many plants, invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Stands typically contain Diphylleia cymosa, Saxifraga micranthidifolia, and Laportea canadensis. Other characteristic species include Cardamine clematitis, Chelone lyonii, Chelone glabra, Chrysosplenium americanum, Boykinia aconitifolia, Cicuta maculata, Houstonia serpyllifolia, Viola cucullata, Viola macloskeyi ssp. pallens, Lilium grayi, Oxypolis rigidior, Parnassia asarifolia, Tiarella cordifolia, Thalictrum clavatum, Trautvetteria caroliniensis, Stellaria corei, and Geum geniculatum. Occurrences associated with more acidic soil conditions often contain Juncus gymnocarpus. This association often occurs in cove forests.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26508.DIPHYLLEIACYMOS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
