Name: Heuchera parviflora var. parviflora - Trichomanes boschianum - Thalictrum mirabile - (Ageratina luciae-brauniae, Solidago albopilosa) Cliff Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association includes sparse to moderately dense vegetation of heavily shaded sandstone overhangs and ledges in portions of the Cumberland Plateau. These areas include rockhouses, where seasonal waterfalls and strongly overhanging erosion features provide moist conditions, and also include other large rock overhangs of sufficient size to create similar microclimates. Vegetation is variable in composition and cover, but generally includes mats of nonvascular plants (mosses, liverworts, and fern gametophytes) requiring high and nearly constant humidity, specialized herbs, such as <i>Heuchera parviflora var. parviflora, Vittaria appalachiana, Thalictrum mirabile, Ageratina luciae-brauniae, Solidago albopilosa</i>, and scattered woody vines and shrubs, such as <i>Toxicodendron radicans, Parthenocissus quinquefolia</i>, and <i>Decumaria barbara</i>. <i>Heuchera parviflora var. parviflora</i> is the most constant indicator. Some noteworthy mosses in these habitats include <i>Syrrhopodon texanus</i> and <i>Diphyscium cumberlandianum</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33134-{AE1EF2FB-662E-45EE-93BF-EE8B7CEEF026} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
