Name: Juncus roemerianus - Pontederia cordata Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This tidal marsh association occurs in freshwater, wind-tidal settings in coastal marshes of Virginia and North Carolina. <i>Juncus roemerianus</i> is the dominant, but other characteristic species include <i>Pontederia cordata, Thelypteris palustris var. pubescens, Polygonum punctatum, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Asclepias lanceolata, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Eleocharis fallax, Sagittaria lancifolia ssp. media, Boehmeria cylindrica</i>, and others. This vegetation is differentiated from other poly- or mesohaline vegetation dominated by <i>Juncus roemerianus</i> by the presence of species characteristic of oligohaline or freshwater conditions, and by the relatively higher species diversity. The substrate is markedly hummock-and-hollow, with relatively firm hummocks and deep, soupy hollows.
