Juncus (dichotomus, scirpoides) - Drosera intermedia Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference:
Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description:
This interdunal swale community of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia occurs in small, shallow, saturated depressions. Soils are characterized by a shallow organic layer overlying sands. Sedges and rushes are strongly dominant, including species such as <i>Juncus dichotomus, Juncus canadensis, Juncus biflorus, Juncus scirpoides, Juncus acuminatus, Juncus megacephalus, Juncus canadensis, Cyperus odoratus, Scleria verticillata, Rhynchospora colorata</i>, and <i>Fimbristylis castanea</i>. Common associates include several "bog-loving" species of acidic, saturated environments, including <i>Drosera intermedia, Lycopodiella appressa, Utricularia subulata, Utricularia juncea, Fuirena pumila, Xyris jupicai</i>, and <i>Xyris caroliniana</i>, as well as other herbaceous associates including <i>Linum medium, Eupatorium hyssopifolium var. hyssopifolium, Euthamia caroliniana, Andropogon virginicus, Triadenum virginicum</i>, and <i>Solidago sempervirens</i>. Examples of this association are variable in floristic composition, but can be differentiated from ~<i>Schoenoplectus pungens - Fimbristylis (castanea, caroliniana)</i> Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004117)$$ by the strong dominance by <i>Juncus</i> spp. and the presence of species typical in bog settings, including <i>Drosera intermedia, Drosera rotundifolia, Lycopodiella appressa</i>, and others.
