CEGL002279 Heteranthera limosa - Bacopa rotundifolia - Sagittaria latifolia Marsh
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Blue Mud-plantain - Disk Water-hyssop - Broadleaf Arrowhead Marsh
Colloquial Name: Forb Playa Marsh
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This emergent forb playa vegetation is found in the southern Great Plains of the United States. Stands occur in interdunal swales along major streams and in depressional features in upland plains (playas). Soils are dense, poorly drained clays. Forbs dominate the vegetation, including Heteranthera limosa, Bacopa rotundifolia, and Sagittaria latifolia. Other characteristic species include Ammannia coccinea, Echinochloa sp., Leptochloa fusca ssp. fascicularis, Marsilea vestita, Polygonum pensylvanicum, Rorippa sinuata, and Sagittaria longiloba. This association is known from areas along the Cimarron and Canadian rivers and the North Fork of the Red River in Oklahoma. This vegetation may also be found in association with quaternary deposits around Enid, Oklahoma, and north of Weatherford, Oklahoma.
