Name: Physocarpus opulifolius - Alnus serrulata / Osmunda regalis - Parnassia grandifolia - Eryngium integrifolium Seepage Shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This shrub-dominated seepage vegetation is apparently restricted to the northern Georgia Blue Ridge and is associated with a ring of ultramafic geology that surrounds Brasstown Bald. A similar type of vegetation occurs on Bluff Mountain in North Carolina. This community has a somewhat mixed physiognomy ranging from shrub thicket with small scattered patches of open herbaceous vegetation. In general it occurs as a saturated shrubland dominated by <i>Physocarpus opulifolius, Alnus serrulata, Aronia arbutifolia, Acer rubrum var. trilobum</i>, and <i>Hypericum prolificum</i>. The herbaceous layer is relatively patchy but is quite diverse. Herbaceous species include <i>Osmunda regalis, Oxypolis rigidior, Parnassia grandifolia, Eryngium integrifolium, Calopogon tuberosus, Andropogon glomeratus, Pycnanthemum virginianum, Schizachyrium scoparium, Xyris torta, Viola cucullata, Rhynchospora capitellata, Thelypteris palustris, Fuirena squarrosa, Rudbeckia fulgida, Solidago patula, Trautvetteria caroliniensis, Vernonia noveboracensis</i>, and <i>Aristida longespica</i>.
