Name: Spartina patens - Fimbristylis (caroliniana, castanea) - (Panicum virgatum) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This non-tidal maritime grassland occurs in seasonally and periodically flooded to saturated interdune swales on barrier islands and the Ingleside barrier-strandplain in the Coastal Bend of Texas. It may also occur in Louisiana and Tamaulipas, Mexico. Dominant herbs can include Spartina patens, Panicum virgatum, Fimbristylis caroliniana, Fimbristylis castanea, and Hydrocotyle bonariensis. Other species include Paspalum monostachyum, Andropogon glomeratus, Andropogon virginicus, Centella erecta (= Centella asiatica), Rhynchospora colorata (= Dichromena colorata), Eragrostis sp., Juncus sp., Phyla nodiflora, Pluchea foetida, Rhynchospora spp., and Samolus ebracteatus. On the Ingleside barrier-strandplain along the Coastal Bend of Texas, some occurrences lack Spartina patens and are dominated by Panicum virgatum. A sparse shrub layer dominated by Morella cerifera is sometimes present.
