Betula alleghaniensis
Pure hardwood stands (distinguishable communities of tree species within a forest) account for 5.4% of the Fundy forest cover. The most abundant pure hardwood stands are yellow birch ("Betula alleghaniensis") and white birch ("Betulla papyrifera"). There are also some sugar maple ("Acer saccharum"), red maple ("Acer rubrum"), and beech ("Fagus") stands. Carolina springbeauty ("Claytonia caroliniana") and trout-lily ("Erythronium americanum") bloom in the hardwood forest every year.
