Name: Carex cusickii - (Menyanthes trifoliata) Fen
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This wetland association is known from the Puget Lowlands of Washington, Georgia Basin of British Columbia, and the Coast Ranges of northwestern Oregon. It usually occurs as floating mats or narrow margins around lakes or ponds, some of which are associated with bogs. The mats are composed of fibrous or sphagnum peat which is saturated. <i>Carex cusickii</i> consistently dominates this herbaceous vegetation. <i>Comarum palustre</i> is usually present and occasionally codominant. Other common species include <i>Menyanthes trifoliata, Hypericum anagalloides</i>, and <i>Sphagnum</i> spp., the latter occasionally covering most of the substrate. This association is distinguished by the dominance of <i>Carex cusickii</i> and the presence of <i>Menyanthes trifoliata</i> or <i>Sphagnum</i> spp.
