Name: Aquilegia canadensis - Asplenium x heteroresiliens Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This Atlantic Coastal Plain community consists of limestone outcrops 1-3 m high, occurring on lower slopes adjoining bottomlands, mostly to entirely shaded by trees rooted in deeper soils of adjoining forests, but with highly distinctive floristic composition. Shrubs and woody vines, such as <i>Decumaria barbara, Acer floridanum</i>, and the alien <i>Lonicera japonica</i>, are sometimes rooted in solution pockets in the top and sides of the outcrops and can be locally abundant. Herbaceous species include <i>Aquilegia canadensis, Asplenium x heteroresiliens, Asplenium platyneuron, Cystopteris tennesseensis, Arabis lyrata, Oxalis</i> sp., <i>Arenaria lanuginosa var. lanuginosa</i>, and <i>Carex basiantha</i>. Bryophytes are locally abundant, and include <i>Anomodon attenuatus, Conocephalum conicum</i>, and <i>Marchantia</i> sp. The lowermost portions of the outcrops are very rarely flooded by extreme flood events.
