Name: Osmunda cinnamomea - Rhynchospora capitellata - Thalictrum mirabile Cumberland Seepage Cliff Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This type occurs on relatively cool, seepage-fed portions of sandstone cliff faces in the Cumberland Plateau of Alabama and possibly adjacent states. Individual cliff faces may extend vertically 30 to 45 m (100-150 feet), but this association tends to develop in areas that receive mostly filtered sunlight. Examples are characterized by the presence of relatively shade-intolerant species with high moisture requirements, such as <i>Rhynchospora capitellata, Osmunda cinnamomea, Itea virginica</i>, and <i>Eupatorium fistulosum</i>.
