Name: Brasenia schreberi Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This vegetation occurs in a range of natural ponds and impoundments, including ponds, beaver ponds, and lake margins. Brasenia schreberi is the dominant plant species; other species may include Leersia oryzoides, Lemna valdiviana, Juncus effusus, Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Nymphaea odorata, and Spirodela polyrrhiza. An occurrence along the Texas coast at McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge occupies the `open water' areas interspersed with emergent vegetation and `flotant' marsh dominated by Panicum hemitomon, Panicum hemitomon Semipermanently Flooded Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004665). Other floating aquatics present include Nelumbo lutea, Nymphaea odorata, Nymphaea mexicana, and Utricularia spp. along with submersed aquatics such as Cabomba caroliniana and Ceratophyllum demersum and rooted aquatics such as Pontederia cordata, Zizaniopsis miliacea. Additional information is needed on the full range and variability of expression of this vegetation.
