Name: Panicum hemitomon - Dulichium arundinaceum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association includes emergent zones of Eastern Highland Rim ponds in southeastern middle Tennessee (Coffee and some adjoining counties) dominated by <i>Panicum hemitomon</i>. Ponds dominated by maidencane are rare in this region as the species is primarily found in the Coastal Plain. This community is typically found in small, open, wet depressions in upland flats, sometimes associated with headwaters of creeks. It may form a mosaic with other upland pond vegetation, for example, ~<i>Cephalanthus occidentalis / Hibiscus moscheutos</i> ssp. <i>moscheutos</i> Depression Pond Shrubland (CEGL004742)$$ or vegetation of the ~<i>Scirpus cyperinus</i> Wet Meadow Herbaceous Alliance (A1386)$$. <i>Panicum hemitomon</i> is the dominant species. Small scattered trees and shrubs may be present, such as <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis, Quercus phellos, Liquidambar styraciflua</i>, and <i>Hibiscus moscheutos</i>. Associated herbs include <i>Polygonum hydropiperoides, Saccharum baldwinii, Dulichium arundinaceum, Proserpinaca pectinata, Carex bullata, Carex gigantea, Juncus repens, Leersia hexandra, Dichanthelium longiligulatum</i>, and <i>Typha latifolia</i>. Several other disjunct Coastal Plain species occur at known examples (for example <i>Xyris laxifolia var. iridifolia, Lachnanthes caroliana</i>).
