Name: Zizania (aquatica, texana) - Potamogeton illinoensis Semipermanently Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance includes semipermanently flooded grasslands in spring-fed rivers, with near constant water level and temperature, dominated either by Zizania aquatica (in Florida) or by the narrow endemic Zizania texana (in Texas), with various emergent and submerged aquatics including Potamogeton illinoensis, Ludwigia palustris, Sparganium americanum, Pontederia cordata, Sagittaria lancifolia, Sagittaria sp., Polygonum sp., Cicuta maculata var. maculata (= Cicuta mexicana), Hydrocotyle umbellata, and filamentous green algae. The exotics Hydrilla verticillata and Egeria densa may also be present. This community is threatened by exotic species, changes in hydrology (related to groundwater pumping), sedimentation, and recreational impacts.
