Name: Carex cusickii - (Menyanthes trifoliata) Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This wetland association is known from the Puget Lowlands of Washington, Georgia Basin of British Columbia, and the Coast Range of northwestern Oregon. It usually occurs as floating mats or narrow margins around lakes or ponds, some of which are associated with bogs. The mats are composed of fibrous or sphagnum peat which is saturated. Carex cusickii consistently dominates this herbaceous vegetation. Comarum palustre is usually present and occasionally codominant. Other common species include Menyanthes trifoliata, Hypericum anagalloides, and Sphagnum spp., the latter occasionally covering most of the substrate. This association is distinguished by the dominance of Carex cusickii and the presence of Menyanthes trifoliata or Sphagnum spp.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24834.CAREXCUSICKIIME Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
