Name: Vallisneria americana - (Heteranthera dubia) Riverine Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Stands of this association consist of aquatic vegetation in rivers of the Piedmont, Central Appalachians, Southern Appalachians, and possibly the Atlantic Coastal Plain. This rooted aquatic vegetation is documented from the channels of the Potomac, Shenandoah, James, Clinch and New rivers. <i>Vallisneria americana</i> and <i>Heteranthera dubia (= Zosterella dubia)</i> are the dominant species in variable proportions. The extent and distribution of this vegetation type and its alliance are poorly understood. Associated species recorded from various sites include <i>Elodea canadensis, Elodea nuttallii, Myriophyllum spicatum, Najas gracillima, Lemna minor, Justicia americana, Potamogeton foliosus, Potamogeton illinoensis, Potamogeton crispus, Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus)</i>, and <i>Potamogeton nodosus</i>.
