A diverse shrub layer is also generally present, and woody vines are typically prominent. <i>Arundinaria gigantea</i> may also be prominent in some examples. The herbaceous layer may be rather sparse to well-developed, containing species such as <i>Polystichum acrostichoides, Smilax pumila, Phegopteris hexagonoptera, Aristolochia serpentaria, Dioscorea villosa</i>, and <i>Chasmanthium sessiliflorum</i>.
