Description:
This association covers forb-dominated palustrine vegetation occurring as small wetlands at high elevations (greater than 1200 m [4000 feet]), on upper slopes and ridgetops in the Southern Blue Ridge ecoregion. These areas lack extensive <i>Sphagnum</i> and are typically open, without shading from a forest canopy. Typical dominant species include <i>Impatiens capensis, Impatiens pallida, Monarda didyma</i>, and <i>Rudbeckia laciniata var. digitata</i>. Other characteristic species include <i>Aconitum reclinatum, Cardamine clematitis, Carex leptonervia, Carex debilis var. rudgei, Carex ruthii, Chelone lyonii, Cicuta maculata, Claytonia caroliniana, Conioselinum chinense, Euonymus obovatus, Geum geniculatum, Helenium autumnale, Houstonia serpyllifolia, Lilium superbum, Lilium grayi, Packera aurea, Solidago patula, Thalictrum clavatum, Trautvetteria caroliniensis, Veratrum viride, Viola cucullata</i>, and <i>Viola macloskeyi ssp. pallens</i>. This vegetation is often associated with boulderfield forests or other northern hardwood forests [see ~<i>Betula alleghaniensis - Aesculus flava</i> Forest Alliance (A0266)$$].
