Description: This type occurs on moist, shaded, north-facing cliffs of thin-bedded sedimentary rocks (siltstones and shales) in the Ridge and Valley and the adjacent western portion of the Blue Ridge in southwestern Virginia and Tennessee. It has sparse to moderately dense cover of vascular plants and also has substantial cover of nonvascular plants. Vascular plants root in the horizontal crevices. Most abundant vascular species in the Tennessee occurrences are <i>Heuchera villosa var. villosa, Asplenium trichomanes ssp. trichomanes</i>, and <i>Thalictrum clavatum</i>. Other vascular species present include <i>Hydrangea arborescens, Rhododendron maximum, Laportea canadensis, Trautvetteria caroliniensis var. caroliniensis, Dryopteris intermedia, Dryopteris marginalis, Polypodium appalachianum, Asplenium montanum</i>, and (rarely) <i>Phegopteris connectilis</i> and <i>Saxifraga caroliniana</i>. <i>Conocephalum salebrosum (= Conocephalum conicum)</i> is a common and conspicuous nonvascular plant.
