Name: Hibiscus moscheutos - Polygonum arifolium - Leersia oryzoides - (Carex stricta) Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is a diverse oligohaline marsh characterized by variable dominance of species found in the Chesapeake Bay. Species that form locally dominant patches can include Polygonum arifolium, Hibiscus moscheutos ssp. moscheutos, Polygonum punctatum, Peltandra virginica, Leersia oryzoides, Polygonum sagittatum, Mikania scandens, Spartina cynosuroides and Toxicodendron radicans, among others. All of these species are able to tolerate a broad range of halinity, and the high mean species richness of this type suggests that it is generally restricted to only slightly oligohaline habitats. Infrequently present are several species that are more specific to oligohaline conditions, including Echinochloa walteri, Kosteletzkya virginica, Pluchea odorata, Rumex verticillatus, Sagittaria lancifolia, and Teucrium canadense. The colonial sedge Carex stricta often forms local dominance patches, characteristically on hummocks raised 20-25 cm above the primary marsh surface.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21350.HIBISCUSMOSCHEU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
