Name: Spartina patens - Fimbristylis (caroliniana, castanea) - (Panicum virgatum) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This non-tidal maritime grassland occurs in seasonally and periodically flooded to saturated interdune swales on barrier islands and the Ingleside barrier-strandplain in the Coastal Bend of Texas. It may also occur in Louisiana and Tamaulipas, Mexico. Dominant herbs can include <i>Spartina patens, Panicum virgatum, Fimbristylis caroliniana, Fimbristylis castanea</i>, and <i>Hydrocotyle bonariensis</i>. Other species include <i>Paspalum monostachyum, Andropogon glomeratus, Andropogon virginicus, Centella erecta, Rhynchospora colorata (= Dichromena colorata), Eragrostis</i> sp., <i>Juncus</i> sp., <i>Phyla nodiflora, Pluchea foetida, Rhynchospora</i> spp., and <i>Samolus ebracteatus</i>. On the Ingleside barrier-strandplain along the Coastal Bend of Texas, some occurrences lack <i>Spartina patens</i> and are dominated by <i>Panicum virgatum</i>. A sparse shrub layer dominated by <i>Morella cerifera</i> is sometimes present.
