Name: A.1868
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance tends to occur on the backside of the ends of barrier islands and is irregularly flooded but does not accumulate salt like ~Salicornia$ or ~Distichlis$ (maybe should be in separate formation). Physiognomy tends to be of scattered mound-like clumps of vegetation (mostly ~Sesuvium portulacastrum$) in a wet sand flat.
