Name: Phragmites australis ssp. berlandieri - (Sagittaria platyphylla, Vigna luteola) Tidal Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This reed marsh community is broadly defined to encompass several expressions that may eventually warrant separation into distinct types. In the extreme lower Mississippi River delta, it is a common 'fresh' marsh type subject to regular influence of saltwater. It also covers a relatively uncommon brackish marsh vegetation of the middle and upper coast of Texas. Currently, no occurrences are known from the Chenier Plain of Louisiana. The type is strongly dominated by <i>Phragmites australis ssp. berlandieri</i>. Species richness in this marsh type is very low. Other species present may include <i>Sagittaria platyphylla, Spartina alterniflora, Schoenoplectus americanus, Vigna luteola, Typha</i> spp., and others. In the upper Texas coast, this community is typically in brackish situations, forming small patches within the marsh. In the middle Texas coast, this community forms even smaller patches fringing mainland bayshores. In some Louisiana examples, <i>Colocasia esculenta</i>, an invasive exotic, may have a strong presence.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36074-{3A7F84A1-6292-4A0F-B807-DCF4C12267A0} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
