Name: Glyceria striata - Carex gynandra - Chelone glabra - Symphyotrichum puniceum / Sphagnum spp. Herbaceous Seep
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This acidic seep occurs as small-scale patches along streams in the Southern Appalachians. Occurrences are nearly always less than 0.4 hectare (1 acre) in size. Hydrology is seepage-fed, and these sites may also receive short-term flooding from adjacent streams. Characteristic species include <i>Glyceria striata, Glyceria melicaria, Osmunda cinnamomea, Carex gynandra, Symphyotrichum puniceum, Solidago patula var. patula, Chelone glabra</i>, and <i>Sphagnum recurvum</i>. Most occurrences are herbaceous-dominated, though scattered shrubs and trees may occur, and trees rooted outside the community sometimes provide substantial shade.
