Description:
This association is variable in composition and vegetative cover but includes a range of dry, basic cliffs of variable geology in the interior low-elevation southeastern United States. The association, as broadly defined, is widespread in the Southern Blue Ridge, Cumberlands and Southern Ridge and Valley, and possibly the Interior Low Plateau. It is peripheral in the western Piedmont (e.g., the South Mountains?). Stands are characterized by the presence of scattered to moderately dense vines and forbs. Characteristic vines, shrubs, and scattered shrubs may include <i>Hydrangea arborescens, Toxicodendron radicans ssp. radicans, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Philadelphus hirsutus, Philadelphus inodorus</i>, and <i>Cercis canadensis</i>. Characteristic herbaceous species (very variable from occurrence to occurrence) include <i>Heuchera americana, Dichanthelium depauperatum, Woodsia obtusa, Viola triloba, Oxalis violacea, Carex</i> sp., <i>Dichanthelium depauperatum, Parietaria pensylvanica, Danthonia spicata</i>, and <i>Dichanthelium dichotomum</i>. The exotic <i>Microstegium vimineum</i> may be present.
