Okefenokee Pondlily Aquatic WetlandElement Identifiers NVCS association: Nuphar lutea ssp. orbiculata Herbaceous Vegetation Database Code: CEGL004327 Formation: Permanently flooded temperate or subpolar hydromorphic rooted vegetation Alliance: NYMPHAEA ODORATA - NUPHAR SPP. PERMANENTLY FLOODED TEMPERATE HERBACEOUS ALLIANCE (V.C.2.N.a.102) Element Concept Summary: This association is found in blackwater rivers, streams and lakes, usually in stagnant water. Stands of this type are dominated by Nuphar lutea ssp. orbiculata. In addition, Pontederia cordata may be present. This association is fairly common in the Okefenokee Swamp. Environment: This association is found in blackwater rivers, streams and lakes, usually in stagnant water. Vegetation: Stands of this type are dominated by Nuphar lutea ssp. orbiculata. In addition, Pontederia cordata may be present. Dynamics: See Summary Similar Associations: No information Synonymy: No information Comments: This association is fairly common in the Okefenokee Swamp. Conservation Ranking & Rare Species GRank: G3 (01-01-31): This association occurs in a restricted range in Florida and Georgia in the southeastern Coastal Plain of the United States. Protected examples occur on Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. The conservation status of this type is probably relatively stable, despite its restricted distribution and acreage. High-ranked species: No information Element Distribution Range: This association occurs in a restricted range in Florida and Georgia in the southeastern Coastal Plain of the United States.

PERMANENTLY FLOODED TEMPERATE HERBACEOUS ALLIANCE (V.C.2.N.a.102) Element Concept Summary: This rooted aquatic or open marsh community occupies shallow water depressions, oxbow ponds, backwater sloughs of river floodplains, slow moving streams, ponds, and small lakes throughout the central and eastern United States. It is dominated by rooted, floating-leaved aquatic species, with both submergent and emergent aquatics also present. Nuphar lutea ssp. advena and Nymphaea odorata are dominants. Other species present may include Brasenia schreberi, various Potamogeton spp., Polygonum amphibium, and Polygonum amphibium var. emersum (= Polygonum coccineum). Submerged aquatics more common in the southern part of the range include Cabomba caroliniana, Ceratophyllum demersum, and Heteranthera dubia. Environment: This community occupies shallow water depressions, oxbow ponds, and backwater sloughs of river floodplains, ponds, and small lakes. Vegetation: This community is dominated by rooted, floating-leaved aquatic species, with both submergent and emergent aquatics also present. Nuphar lutea ssp. advena and Nymphaea odorata are dominants. Other species present include Brasenia schreberi, various Potamogeton spp., Polygonum amphibium, and Polygonum amphibium var. emersum (= Polygonum coccineum) (Anderson 1982). Submerged aquatic species more common in the southern part of the range include Cabomba caroliniana, Ceratophyllum demersum, and Heteranthera dubia. This broadly conceived type may include ponds, or zones of ponds, dominated by Nymphaea odorata, with or without Nuphar lutea ssp. advena. Dynamics: See Summary Similar Associations: No information Synonymy: L5D2aI1a. Nuphar lutea (Foti et al. 1994) Open water marsh with floating-leaved plants (NAP 1998) Comments: Occurs in borrow pits on Kisatchie National Forest. On the Conecuh National Forest (Alabama), vegetation of this alliance occurs in Gum Pond and Open Pond as a mix of Nymphaea odorata and Nuphar lutea ssp. advena. Conservation Ranking & Rare Species GRank: G4G5 (96-10-03): High-ranked species: No information Element Distribution Range: This rooted aquatic community occupies shallow, quiet waters throughout the central and eastern United States, extending from Maine to Ontario and Minnesota, south to Oklahoma and east to Georgia.
