Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available


Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Arumleaf Arrowhead - Longbarb Arrowhead Marsh

Colloquial Name: Oklahoma Arrowhead Marsh

Hierarchy Level:  Association

Type Concept: This association occurs throughout Oklahoma (though rare or absent in the Panhandle) and Texas. It is found in ponds, interdunal swales, and sloughs. Stands are dominated by Sagittaria cuneata and Sagittaria longiloba. Associates include Echinochloa crus-galli, Eleocharis macrostachya, Heteranthera limosa, and Spirodela polyrrhiza.

Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available

Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available

Classification Comments: This type was described from Oklahoma and needs rangewide review. Sagittaria latifolia is found in situations with longer hydroperiods than the nominal taxa, and was previously a nominal here due to a misidentification (B. Hoagland pers. comm. 2007).
