Name: Scleria baldwinii - Rhynchospora cephalantha - Polygala cymosa - Fuirena scirpoidea Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association represents the wettest portion of wet prairie vegetation of the Florida Panhandle. Characteristic plant species include <i>Scleria baldwinii, Polygala cymosa, Fuirena scirpoidea, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora filifolia, Rhynchospora corniculata, Rhynchospora latifolia, Oxypolis filiformis, Xyris serotina, Coreopsis nudata, Eriocaulon compressum, Lophiola aurea, Sabatia bartramii, Amphicarpum muehlenbergianum, Aristida purpurascens var. purpurascens (= Aristida affinis), Cladium mariscoides</i>, and <i>Ludwigia sphaerocarpa</i>. <i>Calamovilfa curtissii</i> is often found around the outer edges of these ecotonal plant communities. This vegetation occurs as an herbaceous ecotone just above the <i>Taxodium ascendens</i> ponds and swales. The soil is strongly hydric, mucky, and likely to inundate to a depth of 12-18 inches (3-4.5 dm) for 3-6 months in most years.
