Name: Caltha palustris - Impatiens capensis - Viola cucullata Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This community is a saturated, herbaceous, small-patch wetland occurring on relatively steep, usually gravelly or bouldery slopes at sites of groundwater discharge. The type is probably scattered in the northern Blue Ridge and parts of the Ridge and Valley province, in areas underlain by base-rich metamorphic, igneous, or sedimentary rocks. Occurrences are more common at, but not restricted to, elevations above 760 m (2500 feet) elevation. Habitats are typically narrow and partially or wholly shaded by tree species rooted in adjacent upland forests. A few occurrences encompass larger spring seeps that may have resulted from the clearing of forested seepage swamps. Vegetation is similar to the herbaceous component of forested seepage swamps but is usually more forb-rich. Characteristic species include <i>Caltha palustris, Impatiens capensis, Viola cucullata, Chelone glabra, Pilea pumila, Chrysosplenium americanum, Lycopus virginicus, Lycopus uniflorus, Packera aurea (= Senecio aureus), Veratrum viride, Laportea canadensis</i>, and <i>Carex gynandra</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31034.CEGL006258 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
