Name: Asplenium montanum - Heuchera parviflora var. parviflora - Silene rotundifolia Cliff Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community occurs on relatively dry, exposed vertical sandstone cliffs in the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Georgia, and Alabama. Vegetation consists of scattered individuals of <i>Asplenium montanum, Silene rotundifolia</i>, and other species rooted in crevices and erosion pockets. In some parts its range, this community is the primary or sole habitat for rare endemic species, such as <i>Minuartia cumberlandensis</i>. The vegetation is generally very sparse, owing to rock characteristics. Occasional well-developed crevices and seepages with more moisture and soil development are the primary locations where most vascular plants occur. <i>Heuchera parviflora var. parviflora, Silene rotundifolia, Asplenium montanum, Asplenium bradleyi, Mitchella repens, Kalmia latifolia</i>, and <i>Decumaria barbara</i> are primary species present.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33183-{1786627A-644D-4CDA-80C6-F4F533FC852B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
