Name: Brasenia schreberi Permanently Flooded Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance consists of ponds dominated by Brasenia schreberi, which is typically the single dominant floating or emergent species. Examples occur primarily in the Coastal Plain, but may be found in other ecoregions as well. Submersed aquatics may be common and include Utricularia spp. This alliance occurs in natural ponds (including beaver ponds) and 'borrow pits' in acidic Coastal Plain sediments. Its environmental and floristic relationship to related alliances are unclear. Other species may include Leersia oryzoides, Lemna valdiviana, Juncus effusus, Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Nymphaea odorata, and Spirodela polyrrhiza. In the sandhills of Georgia, Brasenia schreberi is dominant, with some Nymphaea odorata and Utricularia sp. In Alabama, Nymphaea odorata is frequently found growing with Brasenia schreberi.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23519.BRASENIASCHREBE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
