Name: Muhlenbergia filipes - Andropogon glomeratus var. pumilus - Saccharum giganteum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Stands of this vegetation type result from hydrological alteration of wet muhly prairies in the south Florida Everglades. Regional and local drainage of sites with this association results in succession to a substantially different community, which now covers extensive areas. <i>Andropogon glomeratus var. pumilus</i> and <i>Saccharum giganteum</i> are important species, along with persistent <i>Muhlenbergia filipes</i>. Scattered woody species are also present, including both native (<i>Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Metopium toxiferum, Ilex cassine, Persea palustris</i>, and <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i>) and alien (<i>Melaleuca quinquenervia, Schinus terebinthifolius</i>, and <i>Casuarina equisetifolia</i>) species.
