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