Name: Triantha glutinosa - Parnassia glauca Saturated Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This alliance includes herbaceous seepage communities that develop on the shores of larger rivers, where flood scouring maintains semi-open conditions and groundwater discharge supports a fen-like aspect. Shore substrate may be sandy, gravelly, or bedrock. Characteristic species include Triantha glutinosa (= Tofieldia glutinosa), Spiranthes spp., Parnassia glauca, and Carex hassei. Communities in this alliance are referred to locally as 'riverside seeps' and 'calcareous riverside seeps.'
