Name: Ipomoea imperati - Cakile edentula ssp. harperi Sparse Beach Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association accommodates perennial vine- and annual forb-dominated sand flats on upper ocean beaches, within the reach of storm tides and extreme lunar tides, in southern South Carolina and Georgia. Stands are dominated by <i>Ipomoea imperati</i> and also contain <i>Spartina patens, Borrichia frutescens, Croton punctatus, Iva imbricata, Salsola</i> sp., <i>Chamaesyce</i> sp., <i>Cakile edentula ssp. harperi</i>, and <i>Cenchrus</i> sp. This association occurs to the north of the reliable range of <i>Ipomoea pes-caprae</i>. In contrast to other <i>Ipomoea</i>-dominated beach associations, <i>Ipomoea pes-caprae</i> is typically absent from stands of this association, or it will occur at very low cover.
