Name: Symplocarpus foetidus - Impatiens capensis Seepage Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This small seepage wetland vegetation occurs in low-lying areas such as streamheads, lower slope drainages, and the borders of small streams where groundwater emerges. The substrate is mucky, with rocks and boulders often visibly protruding above the surface. Little quantitative data exist for this vegetation, although it appears to be quite common in the northeastern United States. Typically, this vegetation is shaded by tree species of higher ground and surrounding edges of the community, but these species are not characteristic of the vegetation and vary widely among occurrences. <i>Lindera benzoin</i> may occur, particularly at the edges. Characteristic herbaceous species are <i>Symplocarpus foetidus, Impatiens capensis</i>, and <i>Arisaema triphyllum</i>. Other common associates are variable but may include <i>Veratrum viride, Pilea pumila, Cardamine pensylvanica, Saxifraga pensylvanica, Carex canescens, Caltha palustris</i>, and <i>Viola sororia</i>.
