Betula alleghaniensis
Hemlock–northern hardwood forests are found in deep coves, moist flats, and ravines from Virginia and West Virginia northward. They include yellow birch ("Betula alleghaniensis"), mountain maple ("Acer spicatum"), sugar maple ("Acer saccharum"), and beech ("Fagus grandifolia"). These trees are sometimes joined by hemlock ("Tsuga canadensis") or white pine ("Pinus strobus").
