Name: Sagittaria kurziana - Potamogeton illinoensis - Vallisneria americana Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occupies large, clear water, spring-fed streams in the Florida Panhandle, forming vast beds in freshwater 'spring runs,' sometimes extending downstream into brackish water. These dense beds are dominated by a combination of Sagittaria kurziana, Potamogeton illinoensis, and/or Vallisneria americana. Other characteristic species include Cabomba caroliniana, Ceratophyllum demersum, Zizania aquatica (submersed forms), Egeria densa (exotic), and Hydrilla verticillata (exotic). The large and distinctive plants of Vallisneria have sometimes been considered a distinct species, Vallisneria neotropicalis (this now regarded as a synonym of Vallisneria americana). This vegetation could extend from the East Gulf Coastal Plain into the adjacent Florida peninsula.
