Name: Aristida beyrichiana - Rhynchospora spp. - Pleea tenuifolia - Sarracenia (psittacina, flava) 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 Apalachicola National Forest. This type has been referred to as the "<i>Pleea</i> phase" and is presumably wetter and found on sandier soils. While both types are dominated by <i>Aristida beyrichiana</i>, this type may be distinguished by the a greater relative abundance of <i>Pleea tenuifolia, Sarracenia psittacina</i>, and <i>Sarracenia flava</i>. <i>Verbesina chapmanii</i> is lacking from this type. 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 depending upon time since fire.
