Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance covers rocky river shoals dominated by ~Justicia americana$ with ~Orontium aquaticum, Podostemum ceratophyllum, Leersia$ spp., ~Lemna minor, Saururus cernuus$, and others. A sparse canopy may be present, and species may include ~Carpinus caroliniana ssp. caroliniana, Fagus grandifolia$, and ~Fraxinus pennsylvanica$. There is some apparent regional variation in the associated species. More Appalachian examples may contain ~Orontium aquaticum$ as a codominant. In parts of the Ridge and Valley and Piedmont, ~Hymenocallis caroliniana (= Hymenocallis coronaria)$ is codominant. In the Edwards Plateau of central Texas, associated with ~Justicia americana$ are ~Bacopa monnieri, Fuirena simplex, Eleocharis geniculata (= Eleocharis caribaea), Eleocharis montevidensis$, and ~Cyperus$ spp.
