Name: A.1742
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance consists of ponds dominated by ~Brasenia schreberi$, which is typically the single dominant floating or emergent species. Examples occur primarily in the Coastal Plain, but may be found in other ecoregions as well. Submersed aquatics may be common and include ~Utricularia$ spp. This alliance occurs in natural ponds (including beaver ponds) and 'borrow pits' in acidic Coastal Plain sediments. Its environmental and floristic relationship to related alliances are unclear. Other species may include ~Leersia oryzoides, Lemna valdiviana, Juncus effusus, Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Nymphaea odorata$, and ~Spirodela polyrrhiza$. In the sandhills of Georgia, ~Brasenia schreberi$ is dominant, with some ~Nymphaea odorata$ and ~Utricularia$ sp. In Alabama, ~Nymphaea odorata$ is frequently found growing with ~Brasenia schreberi$.
