Name: Nelumbo lutea Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: The American lotus type occurs in natural wetlands or artificial impoundments across the eastern United States and southern Ontario. Stands are essentially monospecific <i>Nelumbo lutea</i> communities. This association may be divided as more information becomes available. In Wisconsin, this type is located primarily in the backwaters and impoundments of the Mississippi River and along the deep marshes of the lower Wolf River system. In the Central Appalachians this association includes mixed or monospecific <i>Nelumbo lutea</i> communities of natural wetlands or artificial impoundments, sometimes with scattered <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>. Other floating-leaved aquatic plant species, such as <i>Nuphar advena</i> and <i>Nymphaea odorata</i>, may be present, as may emergent species such as <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus tabernaemontani), Pontederia cordata, Juncus effusus, Typha latifolia, Eichhornia crassipes</i> (alien), <i>Hydrocotyle</i> spp., and floating aquatics, such as <i>Salvinia minima, Spirodela</i> spp., <i>Lemna</i> spp., and <i>Azolla caroliniana</i>. The hydrology of this association is highly variable; the hydrologic placement is debatable.
