Name: Aristida beyrichiana - Rhynchospora spp. - Verbesina chapmanii Seepage Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This type represents one of two described phases of wet prairie or open savanna which are endemic, or nearly so, to the western portions of the Apalachicola National Forest. This type has been referred to as the "<i>Verbesina</i> phase" and is presumably drier and found on clayier soils. While both types are dominated by <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i>, this type supports <i>Verbesina chapmanii</i>, a panhandle Florida endemic, and lacks significant amounts of <i>Pleea tenuifolia</i> and <i>Sarracenia</i> species. A rich herbaceous layer is present, among which <i>Ctenium aromaticum</i> is an abundant grass. An emergent layer of <i>Hypericum</i> spp. may be present if fires have been only infrequent. Preliminary data suggest that <i>Muhlenbergia expansa, Lobelia brevifolia</i>, and <i>Fuirena breviseta</i> may be indicative of this type as well.
