Name: Paspalum vaginatum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association occurs in shallow interdune swales, and is dominated (often monospecific) by Paspalum vaginatum. In Florida, this often occurs in close association with Fimbristylis castanea - Paspalum distichum Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004110). In Texas, this vegetation may also occur in artificial ponds and other wetlands on barrier islands and mainland areas near the coast. Paspalum vaginatum is a pioneer species colonizing damp, brackish sand flats as a widely creeping, prostrate, stoloniferous mat. With time it may develop into a dense sward of vertically oriented stems. This grassy sward may in turn be replaced by woody vegetation, including Avicennia germinans, Baccharis halimifolia, and Borrichia frutescens.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25858.PASPALUMVAGINAT Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
