Name: Juncus roemerianus - Pontederia cordata Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community association occurs in freshwater, wind-tidal situations. Juncus roemerianus is the dominant, but other characteristic species include Pontederia cordata, Thelypteris palustris var. pubescens, Polygonum punctatum, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Asclepias lanceolata, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Eleocharis fallax, Boehmeria cylindrica, and others. Many of these species are indicative of the freshwater marsh conditions and do not occur in more brackish and saline associations in the Juncus roemerianus Tidal Herbaceous Alliance (A.1475). The substrate is markedly hummock-and-hollow, with relatively firm hummocks and deep, soupy hollows. This community is known from tributary rivers of Currituck Sound, where Juncus roemerianus may be relictual of more saline and lunar tidal conditions which presumably prevailed before the closing of the most recent inlet in 1828.
