Name: Acer circinatum / Athyrium filix-femina - Tolmiea menziesii Shrub Swamp
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs in the Cascade Range and Olympic Mountains at low to middle elevations, typically on steep slopes, although it can occur on gentle slopes or flat sites. Sites include moist talus, lower ends of avalanche chutes, and streambanks on smaller streams. Exposed rock is uncommon. A well-developed tall-shrub layer is dominated by <i>Acer circinatum</i>. Shorter shrubs, including <i>Rubus spectabilis, Oplopanax horridus</i>, and <i>Sambucus racemosa</i>, are often present in sparse to dense amounts. The well-developed herbaceous layer is characterized by the presence to prominence of <i>Athyrium filix-femina</i> or <i>Tolmiea menziesii</i>. Other common herbaceous species include <i>Claytonia sibirica, Polystichum munitum, Maianthemum stellatum, Galium triflorum</i>, and <i>Stachys chamissonis var. cooleyae</i>.
