Name: Peltandra virginica - Saururus cernuus - Carex crinita / Climacium americanum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This vegetation occupies depressions of Piedmont and mountain floodplains. Vegetative cover is generally low and may be confined to edges or shallower portions that dry out during the growing season. The vascular plant species vary widely among examples. Emergent vegetation may include Peltandra virginica, Dulichium arundinaceum, and Polygonum spp. Carex crinita or some other wetland Carex species are almost always present, and Climacium americanum is often abundant on the landward side. Larger examples may have pad-leaved aquatic species such as Brasenia schreberi or Nymphaea odorata. Piedmont examples may also have Saururus cernuus and Boehmeria cylindrica. Some examples have wetland shrubs on edges or in shallow portions, including Cornus amomum and Cephalanthus occidentalis. These depressions are usually abandoned channel segments or swales behind natural levees in which water is ponded for all or much of the year. Water may be supplied primarily by stream flooding or by rainfall.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19242.PELTANDRAVIRGIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
