Name: Uniola paniculata - Schizachyrium littorale - Panicum amarum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This dunegrass association occurs on ocean front dunes on barrier islands and barrier spits in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, from southeastern Virginia to South Carolina and possibly Georgia. <i>Uniola paniculata</i> is the dominant species, with <i>Schizachyrium littorale</i> and <i>Panicum amarum</i> also common and characteristic. <i>Ammophila breviligulata</i> may be common in Dare and Currituck counties of northeastern North Carolina, and in southeastern Virginia. Other typical species include <i>Croton punctatus, Oenothera humifusa, Physalis walteri, Hydrocotyle bonariensis, Heterotheca subaxillaris</i>, and <i>Chrysopsis gossypina</i>. This is the characteristic foredune vegetation immediately south and north of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, perhaps associated with slightly loamier soils with more influence of riverine sediments.  Accession Code: VB.CC.35016.CEGL004039 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
