These sites occur at elevations from 0 to 200 m on the lower elevations of the outer coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and on the outer coast of British Columbia from Wells Passage, west of Broughton Island, to Smith Inlet. This community has a moderately developed shrub layer, well-developed forb layer dominated by ferns, and moderately developed moss layer. A high cover of <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i> and moderate cover of <i>Picea sitchensis</i> dominate the overstory. A high cover of <i>Rubus spectabilis</i> dominates the shrub layer along with moderate cover of <i>Tsuga heterophylla, Ribes bracteosum</i>, and <i>Vaccinium parvifolium</i>. The well-developed herb layer is characterized by moderate to high covers of the ferns <i>Polystichum munitum</i> and <i>Athyrium filix-femina</i>, with moderate cover of <i>Blechnum spicant, Tiarella trifoliata</i>, and <i>Maianthemum dilatatum</i>.
