Name: Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda / Rhynchospora capillacea - Scleria verticillata Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This fen vegetation occurs in seepage areas of marl deposits along the shores of calcareous lakes in New Jersey, New York, and perhaps elsewhere. Saturated, calcium-rich marl deposits support stunted vegetation that is often sparse. The dominant species are graminoids, including <i>Carex flava, Eleocharis rostellata, Cladium mariscoides</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora capillacea</i>. Additional species present include <i>Scleria verticillata, Lycopus uniflorus, Parnassia glauca, Sarracenia purpurea, Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus), Oligoneuron ohioense (= Solidago ohioensis), Triglochin palustris, Juncus articulatus, Lobelia kalmii, Carex crawei, Panicum flexile, Equisetum variegatum, Utricularia minor</i>, and <i>Carex eburnea</i>. Shrubs may occur sporadically and can include <i>Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda (= Potentilla fruticosa), Juniperus horizontalis</i>, and <i>Thuja occidentalis</i>. Nonvascular species can include <i>Campylium stellatum</i> and, in pools or along streambanks, <i>Chara vulgaris</i>.
