Name: Rhynchospora (careyana, inundata) Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: These are seasonally flooded upland depressions dominated by Rhynchospora inundata and/or Rhynchospora careyana (the two species currently taxonomically muddled). Some additional species that may be present in stands of this type include Panicum hemitomon, Panicum verrucosum, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora filifolia, Andropogon capillipes, Xyris fimbriata, Xyris sp., Lachnanthes caroliana, Fuirena sp., Lycopodiella appressa, Eupatorium leptophyllum, Pontederia cordata, Solidago latissimifolia, and Triadenum virginicum. One very rare association that occurs in South Carolina also contains Eriocaulon decangulare var. decangulare, Panicum virgatum var. virgatum (= Panicum virgatum var. cubense), and Muhlenbergia expansa in addition to the nominal species. Floating aquatic plants such as Nymphaea odorata and Nymphoides aquatica may be present. Woody plants, present at low cover, may include Hypericum brachyphyllum and seedlings of Pinus elliottii.
