Name: Polygonum punctatum - Bidens laevis Shoreline Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This provisional association describes herbaceous wetland vegetation dominated by <i>Bidens laevis</i> and <i>Polygonum punctatum</i> and is documented only from Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia. This herbaceous wetland type occurs on poorly drained sandy loam soils within a complex of narrow swales and rises in the backdunes, where most swales are undergoing woody succession. This community is characterized by a dense herbaceous layer dominated by <i>Bidens laevis, Phyla nodiflora</i>, and <i>Polygonum punctatum</i>. In addition, there may be a sparse emergent tree canopy of <i>Sabal palmetto</i> and a sparse shrub layer of <i>Morella cerifera</i>. Other herbs present include <i>Nekemias arborea, Boehmeria cylindrica, Centella erecta, Mikania scandens, Panicum dichotomiflorum var. bartowense, Pluchea odorata, Saccharum giganteum, Sacciolepis striata</i>, and <i>Symphyotrichum subulatum</i>.
