Name: Fimbristylis castanea - Schoenoplectus pungens Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This interdunal pond or wet swale community represents vegetation dominated by <i>Fimbristylis castanea</i> and <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> although relative dominance varies seasonally complicating characterization of this type. Characteristic species include <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> in association with <i>Spartina patens</i> and <i>Fimbristylis castanea</i>. There is usually standing water present in these swales in the spring, when <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> is generally dominant with few other associates except species of <i>Eleocharis</i>. By late summer other species such as <i>Fimbristylis castanea</i> contribute more substantial cover. Diagnostic species are <i>Schoenoplectus pungens, Fimbristylis castanea</i>, and <i>Spartina patens</i>. It is currently only confirmed to occur in North Carolina but could be possible in South Carolina and Georgia.
