Name: Dulichium arundinaceum - Triadenum virginicum / Sphagnum fallax Fen
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This saturated vegetation of New England and New Jersey occurs in saturated conditions of isolated basins. The vegetation is strongly dominated by <i>Dulichium arundinaceum</i> growing in a loosely consolidated aquatic suspension of <i>Sphagnum cuspidatum</i> and/or <i>Sphagnum fallax</i>. Associated species include <i>Triadenum virginicum, Glyceria acutiflora</i>, and <i>Glyceria obtusa</i>. The vegetation is boggy in nature, forming a quaking mat in most cases. The dominance by <i>Dulichium arundinaceum</i> confers a lawn appearance. This association provides habitat for the rare dragonfly <i>Williamsonia lintneri</i> (ringed boghaunter).
