Description: This community occurs in seepage-fed wetlands in the upper Piedmont and Blue Ridge regions, on lower slopes or in the edges of bottomlands in places that are not actively flooded.

The dominant canopy species are generally <i>Acer rubrum var. trilobum</i> and <i>Nyssa</i> sp. Dominant or frequent shrubs include <i>Viburnum nudum var. nudum, Alnus serrulata, Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia), Ilex verticillata, Vaccinium corymbosum, Vaccinium fuscatum, Itea virginica</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron vernix</i>. The herb layer may be fairly diverse. Species include <i>Carex debilis var. pubera (= Carex allegheniensis), Carex leptalea, Carex lurida, Carex atlantica ssp. atlantica, Carex atlantica ssp. capillacea (= Carex howei), Woodwardia areolata, Osmunda cinnamomea, Lycopus virginicus, Leersia virginica</i>, and <i>Chelone</i> sp.
