Description: This forb-dominated acidic seepage wetland community is known from a single location on the Kittatinny Mountains of northern New Jersey where seepage water is diverted to the surface by a clay fragipan. The pH ranges from 4.5-4.7. The vegetation is dominated by <i>Deschampsia caespitosa, Carex bromoides, Carex atlantica ssp. atlantica (= Carex atlantica var. incomperta)</i>, and <i>Claytonia virginica var. hammondiae</i>. Other less frequent associates include <i>Symplocarpus foetidus, Osmunda cinnamomea, Maianthemum canadense, Viola cucullata, Kalmia angustifolia, Coptis trifolia</i>, and <i>Solidago puberula</i>. A bryophyte layer dominated by <i>Sphagnum</i> species included the following species: <i>Sphagnum bartlettianum, Sphagnum henryense, Sphagnum palustre</i>, and <i>Sphagnum recurvum</i>. <i>Cerastium biebersteinii</i>, an exotic of European origin, also occurs in this vegetation.
