Name: Adiantum capillus-veneris - (Thelypteris ovata var. lindheimeri, Thelypteris kunthii) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs on cliff faces and lower slopes of forested box canyons on the Edwards Plateau, usually in narrow horizontal bands where seepage from exposed limestone or water from perennial or nearly perennial creeks consistently provides greater moisture than is available on adjacent slopes. <i>Adiantum capillus-veneris</i> is usually common on seepy cliff faces, while other consistent components, such as <i>Thelypteris ovata var. lindheimeri, Samolus valerandi ssp. parviflorus (= Samolus parviflorus)</i>, and <i>Dichanthelium acuminatum var. lindheimeri (= Panicum acuminatum var. lindheimeri)</i>, are usually more common on moist marly rubble at the foot of the same cliffs. A globally rare (G1G2) species, <i>Salvia penstemonoides</i>, occurs sparingly in this habitat. These communities also support many rare and/or disjunct bryophyte species.
