Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Stands of this association consist of aquatic vegetation in rivers of the Piedmont, Central Appalachians, Southern Appalachians, and possibly the Atlantic Coastal Plain. This rooted aquatic vegetation is documented from the channels of the Potomac, Shenandoah, James, Clinch and New rivers. <i>Vallisneria americana</i> and <i>Heteranthera dubia</i> are the dominant species in variable proportions.
