Name: Sagittaria latifolia - Sagittaria platyphylla - (Colocasia esculenta) Deltaic Tidal Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This common "fresh" marsh type of the extreme lower Mississippi River and Atchafalaya River deltas is subject to regular but infrequent influence of saltwater. The type is dominated by <i>Sagittaria latifolia</i> and <i>Colocasia esculenta</i> (an invasive exotic), with <i>Sagittaria platyphylla</i> as the most common associate. The original native vegetation that typified these settings is unclear but may have been characterized mainly by the <i>Sagittaria</i> species. <i>Colocasia</i> tends to be a "fringing" species that mainly colonizes low riverbanks in the area, while the <i>Sagittaria</i> species are more typical of the flooded mudflats in the area. Additional common species include <i>Typha</i> spp., <i>Phragmites australis, Schoenoplectus americanus, Polygonum</i> spp., the exotics <i>Alternanthera philoxeroides, Aeschynomene indica, Sphenoclea zeylanica</i>, and others. Species richness in this marsh type is low.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36073-{70FCA94E-6C54-469D-86E6-AF517A084386} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
