Reference: Hilsenbeck, C. E., R. H. Hofstet...
Description: This flat marsh community of southern Florida is codominated by <i>Eleocharis cellulosa</i> and <i>Rhynchospora tracyi</i>. It is the second most common marsh type in the eastern Everglades where it interfingers with and is successionally related to <i>Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense</i> communities. It is found on oolite substrate with shallow marly soils which tend to be exposed by peat fires. This type has a 6- to 10-month hydroperiod. <i>Eleocharis cellulosa</i> and <i>Rhynchospora tracyi</i> are dominants (in highly variable ratios), with scattered other species, including <i>Rhynchospora inundata, Eleocharis elongata, Hymenocallis latifolia, Crinum americanum, Bacopa caroliniana</i>, and <i>Utricularia gibba (= Utricularia biflora)</i>. Other species which may be found in some examples include <i>Utricularia purpurea, Utricularia foliosa, Chara</i> sp., <i>Paspalidium geminatum var. paludivagum (= Panicum paludivagum), Hymenocallis palmeri</i>, and <i>Justicia ovata</i>. Algal periphyton may be present.
