CEGL007718 Carex striata var. striata - Xyris fimbriata - Lachnanthes caroliana Marsh
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Southern Peatland Sedge - Fringed Yellow-eyed-grass - Carolina Redroot Marsh
Colloquial Name: Southern Peatland Sedge Depression
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: These seasonally flooded peat depressions are found from South Carolina to Florida and are dominated or codominated by Carex striata var. striata. Some areas are codominated by Xyris fimbriata and/or Lachnanthes caroliana. Other species may include Dulichium arundinaceum, Rhynchospora inundata, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora fascicularis, Syngonanthus flavidulus, Eleocharis microcarpa, Sarracenia minor, Xyris smalliana, Drosera intermedia, and Lipocarpha micrantha. Sphagnum spp. are typically abundant.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: Some stands assigned here (e.g., from Mallory Swamp in Florida) may be the result of disturbance of formerly wooded vegetation. Carex striata var. striata occurs in zones of a depression pond at Fort Benning, Georgia, but not at a sufficient scale to be recognized as an association. The nominal taxon ranges from South Carolina south to Florida, and west to Mississippi. It is rare in Alabama and Mississippi. Examples with Taxodium ascendens canopies should be sought as deciduous woodlands (e.g., CEGL004087).

Floristics: Stands of this association are dominated or codominated by Carex striata var. striata. Some areas are codominated by Xyris fimbriata and/or Lachnanthes caroliana. Other species present may include Dulichium arundinaceum, Rhynchospora inundata, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora fascicularis, Syngonanthus flavidulus, Eleocharis microcarpa, Sarracenia minor, Xyris smalliana, Drosera intermedia, and Lipocarpha micrantha. Some stands may have scattered woody plants associated with them (e.g., Taxodium ascendens, Pinus serotina, Nyssa biflora), this possibly leading to ambiguous assignments of stands to wooded classes.
