Name: Penstemon hirsutus Sparse Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association consists of sparse, mostly herbaceous vegetation occurring on harsh, steep, unstable shale talus and cliffs. Heat, drought and lack of soil development prevent the establishment of many species and limit the community to small crevice-rooting plants such as <i>Woodsia obtusa, Woodsia ilvensis, Penstemon hirsutus, Geranium robertianum, Cyperus lupulinus (= Cyperus filiculmis), Schizachyrium scoparium, Dichanthelium linearifolium (= Panicum linearifolium)</i>, and <i>Carex pensylvanica</i>. Scrubby <i>Juniperus virginiana</i> is also typical of this community.  Accession Code: VB.CC.30993.CEGL006535 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
