Name: Carex (atlantica, echinata, leptalea, lurida) - Solidago patula Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference:
Description: This broadly defined type represents the least floristically distinctive Southern Appalachian Herb Bog vegetation, occurring most typically peripheral to the main bulk of the Appalachians and at lower elevations. It generally lacks distinctive Southern Appalachian endemic components and also is depauperate in northern disjunct species (as compared to other associations in the alliance). The shrub stratum may be patchy or locally well-developed, and consists of species such as <i>Spiraea tomentosa, Kalmia latifolia, Lindera benzoin var. benzoin, Lyonia ligustrina var. ligustrina</i>, and <i>Alnus serrulata</i>. Typical dominants in the well-developed herbaceous stratum are <i>Carex atlantica, Carex folliculata, Carex intumescens, Carex leptalea, Carex lurida, Osmunda cinnamomea</i>, and <i>Solidago patula var. patula</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> is common.
