Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Switchgrass Central Interior Wet Meadow
Colloquial Name: Central Interior Switchgrass Wet Meadow
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This broadly defined type represents prairie-related, seasonally flooded herbaceous vegetation dominated by Panicum virgatum in the upper south (e.g., Kentucky, Tennessee). This type is placed here to represent vegetation which may be virtually extinct, persisting as remnant populations of Panicum virgatum in ditches and swales. This type may be redefined or subdivided if more information becomes available.

Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: More information is needed on the composition and variability of this vegetation (from Marc Evans). This type is placed here to represent vegetation which may be virtually extinct, persisting as remnant populations of Panicum virgatum in ditches and swales. This type may be redefined or subdivided if more information becomes available.
