Comm #1161	Encelia californica - Rhus integrifolia Shrubland » more details accession code: VB.CC.37465.CEGL003672		15	This shrubland association occurs on somewhat steep to abrupt southeast-facing slopes at low elevations between 2 and 625 m. It is characterized by a codominance of <i>Encelia californica</i> and <i>Rhus integrifolia</i> in the shrub. The herbaceous layer is generally insignificant and composed of non-native species. The emergent tree layer is usually not present.
Comm #1162	Carex gynandra - Platanthera clavellata - Drosera rotundifolia - Carex ruthii - Carex atlantica / Sphagnum spp. Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.37529.CEGL007697		15	This association accommodates sedge-dominated, seepage slopes scattered throughout the high elevations (>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 (= Carex flexuosa), 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.

Comm #1168	Cercocarpus montanus var. glaber - Malosma laurina - Artemisia californica Shrubland » more details accession code: VB.CC.37370.CEGL003633		15	This woodland/shrubland association occurs on moderately steep to very steep northeast-facing slopes at low elevations between 33 and 743 m. It is characterized by dominance of <i>Cercocarpus montanus var. glaber (= Cercocarpus betuloides)</i> and subdominance to codominance of <i>Malosma laurina</i> in the shrub layer. <i>Melica imperfecta</i> and scattered other native and non-native species occur in the herbaceous layer. The emergent tree layer includes infrequent <i>Quercus agrifolia</i> and <i>Umbellularia californica</i>.
