Name: Brasenia schreberi Eastern Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This vegetation occurs in a range of natural ponds and impoundments, including ponds, beaver ponds, and lake margins. <i>Brasenia schreberi</i> is the dominant plant species; other species may include <i>Leersia oryzoides, Lemna valdiviana, Juncus effusus, Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Nymphaea odorata</i>, and <i>Spirodela polyrrhiza</i>. An occurrence along the Texas coast at McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge occupies the "open water" areas interspersed with emergent vegetation and "flotant" marsh dominated by <i>Panicum hemitomon</i> (~<i>Panicum hemitomon</i> Semipermanently Flooded Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004665)$$). Other floating aquatics present include <i>Nelumbo lutea, Nymphaea odorata, Nymphaea mexicana</i>, and <i>Utricularia</i> spp., along with submersed aquatics such as <i>Cabomba caroliniana</i> and <i>Ceratophyllum demersum</i> and rooted aquatics such as <i>Pontederia cordata</i> and <i>Zizaniopsis miliacea</i>. Additional information is needed on the full range and variability of expression of this vegetation.
