Name: Hibiscus moscheutos - Polygonum punctatum - Peltandra virginica Tidal Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is a diverse oligohaline marsh characterized by variable dominance of species found in the Chesapeake and Delaware bays. Species that form locally dominant patches can include <i>Polygonum arifolium, Hibiscus moscheutos, Polygonum punctatum, Peltandra virginica, Leersia oryzoides, Polygonum sagittatum, Mikania scandens, Spartina cynosuroides</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>, among others. All of these species are able to tolerate a broad range of halinity, and the high mean species richness of this type suggests that it is generally restricted to only slightly oligohaline habitats. <i>Typha angustifolia</i> and <i>Spartina cynosuroides</i> often form large dominance patches. Infrequently present are several species that are more specific to oligohaline conditions, including <i>Echinochloa walteri, Kosteletzkya virginica, Pluchea odorata, Rumex verticillatus, Sagittaria lancifolia</i>, and <i>Teucrium canadense</i>. The colonial sedge <i>Carex stricta </i>sometimes forms local dominance patches, characteristically on hummocks raised 20-25 cm above the primary marsh surface.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34828-{7EEC5F86-C248-422E-AD2E-B6E7AA6BDB12} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 31
