Name: Washingtonia filifera Flooded Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs naturally only in a few scattered locations in southwestern Arizona and southeastern California. <i>Washingtonia filifera</i> has been planted in many locations as an ornamental. The association is characterized by groves of <i>Washingtonia filifera</i>, often with greater than 50% cover, and up to 12 m in height. Occasionally other desert trees may occur, such as <i>Acacia greggii</i> or <i>Platanus racemosa</i>. Common herbaceous associates include <i>Cynodon dactylon, Ambrosia tenuifolia, Penstemon</i> spp., and <i>Sphaeralcea</i> spp. Szaro (1989) reported large numbers of <i>Washingtonia filifera</i> seedlings in the two groves he sampled, indicating good regeneration of <i>Washingtonia</i>.
