Name: Dalea foliosa - Mecardonia acuminata Saturated Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance is a zonal component of Central Basin Cedar Glades. It occupies small areas along ephemeral streams, where the vegetation is rooted in thin soil over limestone. Stands contain Mecardonia acuminata, Dalea foliosa, Mitreola petiolata, Rudbeckia triloba, and Ludwigia microcarpa, along with various graminoids and nonvascular plants. Sites are seasonally saturated, becoming drier during the heat of summer, when moisture primarily comes from rainstorm events. Dalea foliosa is included in the name to indicate its range and rarity, but is not necessarily in all examples of the community; the alliance name may be revised. Related vegetation may be present in the Moulton Valley of Alabama.
