Name: Peltandra virginica - Saururus cernuus - Boehmeria cylindrica / Climacium americanum Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This vegetation occupies depressions of Piedmont and mountain floodplains, as well as broad flat floodplains of the Coastal Plain of Delaware and New Jersey. These depressions are usually abandoned channel segments or swales behind natural levees in which water is ponded for all or much of the year. Water may be supplied primarily by stream flooding or by rainfall. Vegetative cover is variable and may be confined to edges or shallower portions that dry out during the growing season. The vascular plant species vary widely among examples. Emergent vegetation may include <i>Peltandra virginica, Dulichium arundinaceum</i>, and <i>Polygonum</i> spp. <i>Carex crinita</i> or some other wetland <i>Carex</i> species are almost always present. <i>Saururus cernuus</i> and <i>Boehmeria cylindrica</i> are other typical herbs. Larger examples may have pad-leaved aquatic species such as <i>Brasenia schreberi</i> or <i>Nymphaea odorata</i>. Some examples have wetland shrubs on edges or in shallow portions, including <i>Cornus amomum</i> and <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>. The moss <i>Climacium americanum</i> is often abundant on the landward side.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35885-{C1452F18-CF13-408C-A4D2-0034C2E70981} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 34
