Name: A.1928
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Vegetation in this alliance consists of floating or stranded mats of the nominal species, which occurs in shallow water of flats in slow-moving streams, shallow lakes, natural and artificial impoundments, etc. It is dominated by ~Ludwigia peploides$ (including ~var. glabrescens$ and/or ~var. peploides$). Vegetation of this alliance would be expected to occur in the Coastal Plain and adjacent interior provinces at least from Virginia south and west to Texas, in the upper Coastal Plain at least to Kentucky, in the Central Basin of Tennessee, and west to eastern and central Oklahoma. The nominal species is recorded from some states to the north to this projected range, but its occurrence there may be sporadic or of limited extent. Other species which could occur in examples of this alliance include ~Cephalanthus occidentalis, Hibiscus laevis, Nelumbo lutea, Polygonum hydropiperoides$, and ~Sagittaria latifolia$, as well as ~Ammannia$ spp., ~Callitriche$ spp., ~Hydrolea quadrivalvis, Lycopus$ spp., ~Proserpinaca$ spp., ~Veronica$ spp., and other mat-forming obligate wetland species.
