Description: This alliance contains interdunal swale vegetation characterized by <i>Spartina patens</i> and <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i>. Associates include a mixture of freshwater and brackish species such as <i>Cyperus polystachyos, Distichlis spicata, Eleocharis parvula, Hibiscus moscheutos, Juncus canadensis, Pluchea odorata, Sabatia stellaris, Schoenoplectus americanus, Solidago sempervirens</i>, and <i>Thelypteris palustris</i>.
