Characteristic trees in the Piedmont and mountain valleys include sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), eastern boxelder (Acer negundo var. negundo), American elm (Ulmus americana), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), river birch (Betula nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), yellow buckeye (Aesculus flava; southwestern Virginia only), black walnut (Juglans nigra), tulip-tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), and black willow (Salix nigra). Shrubs include spicebush (Lindera benzoin var. benzoin), black haw (Viburnum prunifolium), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), and American hazelnut (Corylus americana). Herbaceous composition varies greatly with site conditions and geography, but generally includes such characteristic species as mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum), hollow joe-pye weed (Eutrochium fistulosum), thin-leaved sunflower (Helianthus decapetalus), cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis), great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), American bugleweed (Lycopus americanus), Virginia bugleweed (Lycopus virginicus), fringed loosestrife (Steironema ciliatum), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis var. sensibilis), fall phlox (Phlox paniculata), hispid hedge-nettle (Stachys hispida), tall meadow-rue (Thalictrum pubescens), and wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia) .
Along montane floodplains, most of the lower, streamside terraces are probably flooded briefly at least annually. More powerful, catastrophic floods occur at irregular intervals and may be very destructive to stream channels and vegetation. The forests of these habitats are characterized by a mixture of bottomland and mesophytic species. Among the most common trees are sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), white oak (Quercus alba), birches (Betula alleghaniensis and Betula lenta var. lenta), and tulip-tree (Liriodendron tulipifera). Other trees that may be locally important are American beech (Fagus grandifolia), yellow buckeye (Aesculus flava), red maple (Acer rubrum), American elm (Ulmus americana) and, in far southwestern Virginia only, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Understory shrubs may include American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), great rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum), smooth alder (Alnus serrulata), willows (Salix sericea and Salix nigra), and witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana var. virginiana). Montane floodplain habitats are relatively well drained and support a great variety of mostly mesophytic herbaceous species such as hog-peanut (Amphicarpaea bracteata), common jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum ssp. triphyllum), green-and-gold (Chrysogonum virginianum var. virginianum), and golden ragwort (Packera aurea). More frequently flooded and hydric microhabitats along the stream channels, however, usually support some wetland species, e.g., twisted sedge (Carex torta), nodding sedge (Carex gynandra), fowl mannagrass (Glyceria striata var. striata), hooked buttercup (Ranunculus recurvatus var. recurvatus), and marsh blue violet (Viola cucullata).
