Name: Nelumbo lutea Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: The American lotus type occurs in natural wetlands or artificial impoundments across the eastern United States and southern Ontario. Stands are essentially monospecific Nelumbo lutea communities. This association may be divided as more information becomes available. In Wisconsin, this type is located primarily in the backwaters and impoundments of the Mississippi River and along the deep marshes of the lower Wolf River system. In the Central Appalachians this association includes mixed or monospecific Nelumbo lutea communities of natural wetlands or artificial impoundments, sometimes with scattered Cephalanthus occidentalis. Other floating-leaved aquatic plant species, such as Nuphar lutea and Nymphaea odorata, may be present, as may emergent species such as Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus tabernaemontani), Pontederia cordata, Juncus effusus, Typha latifolia, Eichhornia crassipes (alien), Hydrocotyle spp., and floating aquatics, such as Salvinia minima, Spirodela spp., Lemna spp., and Azolla caroliniana. The hydrology of this association is highly variable; the hydrologic placement is debatable.
