Name: Aristida beyrichiana - Rhynchospora spp. - Pleea tenuifolia - Sarracenia (psittacina, flava) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This type represents one of two described phases of wet prairie or open savanna which are endemic, or nearly so, to the Apalachicola National Forest. This type has been referred to as the "Pleea phase" and is presumably wetter and found on sandier soils. While both types are dominated by Aristida beyrichiana, this type may be distinguished by the a greater relative abundance of Pleea tenuifolia, Sarracenia psittacina, and Sarracenia flava. Verbesina chapmanii is lacking from this type. A rich herbaceous layer is present, among which Ctenium aromaticum is an abundant grass. An emergent layer of Hypericum spp. may be present depending upon time since fire.
