Name: Panicum rigidulum - Hibiscus moscheutos Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Schafale, M. P. 2011. Classifica...
Description: This association occurs on recent deposits of sand along blackwater rivers, generally on point bars, but sometimes along straight stretches of channel. Vegetation is patchy, sparse over most of the area of the community, but ranging to dense in different parts of even small patches. <i>Panicum rigidulum, Phanopyrum gymnocarpon, Panicum hemitomon</i>, or <i>Polygonum punctatum (= Persicaria punctata)</i> are usually the most common species. Other herbs include <i>Polygonum</i> spp. (= <i>Persicaria</i> spp.), <i>Boehmeria cylindrica, Hydrocotyle verticillata, Sacciolepis striata, Cyperus polystachyos</i>, and <i>Micranthemum umbrosum</i>. Ruderal species such as <i>Digitaria</i> spp., <i>Eupatorium compositifolium</i>, and <i>Cyperus</i> spp. often occur in small numbers. <i>Hibiscus moscheutos</i> is prominent in some examples. Shrubs typical of riverbanks and other adjacent forest communities are often present in small numbers, including <i>Cyrilla racemiflora, Cornus foemina (= Cornus stricta)</i>, and <i>Vaccinium elliottii</i>. Young trees or small numbers of older trees are often present, including <i>Betula nigra, Taxodium distichum, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus lyrata</i>, and <i>Carpinus caroliniana</i>.
