Name: Rhynchospora spp. - Calamagrostis canadensis - Rhexia virginica Coastal Plain Pondshore Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These are depression ponds with herbaceous graminoid wetland vegetation on the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain. These do not include the wetland vegetation of coastal interdunal swales. This alliance includes seasonally flooded wetland depressions, often dominated by <i>Calamagrostis canadensis, Rhexia virginica, Rhynchospora</i> spp., and <i>Woodwardia virginica</i>, which occur in acidic sands of the Coastal Plain. Additional associates include <i>Carex striata, Decodon verticillatus, Hypericum mutilum</i>, and <i>Triadenum virginicum</i>. More information is needed on the expression of this small-scale alliance. The vegetation may be tall, reaching up to 1.5 m in height. It is attributed to various states in the Atlantic Coastal Plain from Virginia to Massachusetts, as well as Maine and Ontario.
