Sawgrass - Southern Cattail - Tufted Fimbry - Coastal Water-hyssop Herbaceous VegetationElement Identifiers NVCS association: Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense - Typha domingensis - Fimbristylis caroliniana - Bacopa monnieri Herbaceous Vegetation Database Code: CEGL008591 Formation: Seasonally flooded temperate or subpolar grassland Alliance: CLADIUM MARISCUS SSP. JAMAICENSE SEASONALLY FLOODED TEMPERATE HERBACEOUS ALLIANCE (V.A.5.N.k.8) Element Concept Summary: This community occurs in shallow marshes associated with `spring-run' streams in peninsular Florida . Stands of this association are dominated by Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense. Other typical species include Typha domingensis, Pluchea odorata, Fimbristylis caroliniana, Eleocharis sp., Bacopa monnieri, Ammannia latifolia, Eupatorium serotinum, Mikania scandens, Acrostichum danaeifolium, Thelypteris palustris var. pubescens, Hydrocotyle sp., Samolus ebracteatus ssp. ebracteatus, and Saururus cernuus. Floating aquatic plants may be present in examples of this vegetation. Some typical components include Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Najas guadalupensis, Salvinia minima, Lemna sp., and Spirodela sp. Although this is essentially an herbaceous type, shrubs (especially Morella cerifera and Baccharis halimifolia) may sometimes have substantial cover. All of these are treated here, even examples with scattered to open shrub cover.

Shrubs (especially Morella cerifera and Baccharis halimifolia) may sometimes have substantial cover.

It occurs in very low areas of river floodplains throughout the lower Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains and in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain. Succession may lead to re-establishment of dominance by Taxodium distichum and Nyssa aquatica. Stump sprouts of Nyssa spp. may occur as canopy emergents. Tree seedlings of several species (Taxodium distichum, Nyssa aquatica, Nyssa biflora, Acer rubrum, and Fraxinus caroliniana) may be found growing beneath the shrub layer. Common shrubs are Clethra alnifolia, Lyonia ligustrina var. foliosiflora, Itea virginica, and Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera). Occurrences are most common on alluvial soils, usually Inceptisols with a clay component, and most will experience annual flooding.
