Name: Carex gynandra - Platanthera clavellata - Drosera rotundifolia - Carex ruthii / Sphagnum spp. Herbaceous Seep Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association accommodates sedge-dominated, seepage slopes scattered throughout the high elevations (&gt;1524 m [5000 feet]) of the Southern Blue Ridge. This non-alluvial wetland is generally graminoid-dominated but may have significant coverage by trees or shrubs, especially around the edges. Particularly small examples may be completely shaded by trees in the community and in the adjacent forests. Typically this community has well-developed <i>Sphagnum</i> mats. Characteristic species include <i>Carex gynandra, Carex ruthii, Carex atlantica, Carex debilis var. rudgei, Glyceria striata, Glyceria melicaria, Hypericum graveolens, Hypericum mitchellianum, Hypericum mutilum, Chelone lyonii, Platanthera clavellata</i>, and <i>Drosera rotundifolia</i>. Occurrences of this community are surrounded by or were formerly surrounded by forests dominated by <i>Abies fraseri</i> and <i>Picea rubens</i> or by the highest northern hardwood forests (forests dominated by <i>Fagus grandifolia, Betula alleghaniensis</i>, and <i>Aesculus flava</i>). They are influenced by the high rainfall and low evaporation rates in these high mountain landscapes.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35886-{1BF6E469-B989-499E-905C-754C4DC548EB} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
