Name: A.1217
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes moist interdune flats dominated or codominated by ~Muhlenbergia filipes$, from around Nags Head, Dare County, North Carolina, south and west at least to the western coast of peninsular Florida; limits westward not known (the species goes to Texas). These communities are saturated at times, but the coarse sandy substrate drains quickly and are thus placed in upland. A widespread association is codominated by ~Muhlenbergia filipes, Spartina patens$, and ~Eustachys petraea$. Examples on Cayo Costa and North Captiva islands, Lee County, Florida, are dominated by ~Bouteloua hirsuta$, with ~Muhlenbergia filipes, Uniola paniculata$, and more typical southeastern Coastal Plain coastal species. Other characteristic species may include ~Ernodea littoralis, Chiococca parvifolia (= Chiococca pinetorum), Lantana depressa var. sanibelensis, Trichostema [sp. nov. ined.], Ambrosia hispida, Coccoloba uvifera, Smilax auriculata, Phyllanthus abnormis$, and ~Panicum amarum var. amarulum$.
