Name: Spartina bakeri - Muhlenbergia filipes - Andropogon glomeratus - Rhynchospora colorata Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Seasonally flooded coastal interdunal swales and related depressions in Florida and possibly southeastern Georgia, dominated by Spartina bakeri, or at least with substantial cover of it. Muhlenbergia filipes may be codominant; Andropogon glomeratus and Aristida sp. are occasionally present. A variety of wetland herbs are present in the wetter swales, including Rhynchospora colorata, Sagittaria lancifolia, Eupatorium mikanioides (a Florida endemic), Setaria magna, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Phyla nodiflora, Sabatia stellaris, and Pluchea rosea. Nostoc, a cyanobacterium, forms a wet, slippery, dark green ground cover during wet periods and a thick, black crust during dry spells. An alga, Chara sp., is also present in pools in wet swales. Exotic species found in some swales include Schinus terebinthifolius and Catharanthus roseus.
