Name: Typha latifolia - Hedychium spp. - Urochloa mutica Ruderal Freshwater Wet Meadow & Marsh Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ruderal freshwater marsh group occurs on the northwestern Hawaiian Islands and throughout the main islands as mostly small-patch areas in floodplain, riparian, or basin topography. Vegetation is dominated by non-native emergent herbs such as <i>Typha latifolia, Hedychium flavescens, Hedychium coronarium, Hedychrium gardnerianum</i> (above 315 m [1000 feet] in elevation), and <i>Pluchea indica</i>. Native species such as bulrushes, sedges and grasses, including <i>Bolboschoenus maritimus, Cladium mariscus, Cyperus</i> spp., and <i>Schoenoplectus</i> spp., may be present but are no longer the dominant and characteristic plants of the marsh. These are degraded marshes where introduced species have become overwhelmingly dominant.
