Name: Podostemum ceratophyllum Aquatic Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community is wide-ranging, occurring in rivers throughout the eastern and southeastern United States. It represents essentially monospecific beds of <i>Podostemum ceratophyllum</i>, although some algae may also be present. This submersed vegetation forms a low mat or crust attached to rocks in moderately fast- to fast-flowing water. Typical habitat for this association in the Central Appalachians and related areas includes rocky surfaces of streambeds and riverbeds in mature drainage systems where the streams have cut down to rock and the floodplain is relatively narrow, or on dams. It tends to be associated with higher pH streams which cut through diabase, limestone or calcareous shales.
