Name: Adiantum capillus-veneris - Boehmeria cylindrica - Lobelia siphilitica Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This broadly defined association covers vegetation dominated by <i>Adiantum capillus-veneris</i> occurring in Kentucky, Tennessee, and possibly other inland states. In Kentucky, this alliance occurs along bluffs of the Cumberland River and its South Fork, where small streams and seeps flow over open limestone cliffs. At these sites, <i>Boehmeria cylindrica</i> and <i>Lobelia siphilitica</i> are common herbaceous associates; <i>Hydrangea arborescens</i> is a common shrub. In Tennessee, <i>Stellaria fontinalis (= Arenaria fontinalis)</i> is sometimes found in examples of this vegetation (in the Eastern Highland Rim). Also reported from sites along the Green River in the Pennyroyal Karst Plain (Hart County, Kentucky, 222Eh).
