Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association incorporates vegetation of beaver ponds and other semipermanent impoundments in the Piedmont, South Atlantic Coastal Plain, Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain, scattered localities in the Blue Ridge, and possibly other adjacent provinces. Stands of this vegetation are dominated by some combination of Polygonum punctatum, Polygonum hydropiperoides, Leersia lenticularis, and/or Leersia virginica. Other herbaceous species present include Saururus cernuus, Proserpinaca sp., Bidens aristosa (= Bidens polylepis), and Xanthium strumarium. Scattered individuals of Cephalanthus occidentalis and Acer saccharinum may be present. A Piedmont North Carolina example contains Impatiens capensis, Boehmeria cylindrica, and the exotic Murdannia keisak.
