Name: Penstemon hirsutus Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is known from central New England and New York state south to northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It consists of sparse, mostly herbaceous vegetation occurring on harsh, steep, unstable shale talus and cliffs. Heat, drought and lack of soil development prevent the establishment of many species and limit the community to small crevice-rooting plants such as <i>Woodsia obtusa, Woodsia ilvensis, Penstemon hirsutus, Geranium robertianum, Cyperus lupulinus, Schizachyrium scoparium, Dichanthelium linearifolium</i>, and <i>Carex pensylvanica</i>. Scrubby <i>Juniperus virginiana</i> is also typical of this community.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35164-{B92E405F-7B0A-49BF-A47A-EF7963200E09} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
