CEGL005106 Leersia oryzoides - Glyceria striata - (Schoenoplectus spp., Impatiens capensis) Wet Meadow
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Rice Cutgrass - Fowl Mannagrass - (Bulrush species, Orange Jewelweed) Wet Meadow
Colloquial Name: Rice Cutgrass - Fowl Mannagrass Wet Meadow
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This herbaceous association is found in New York, Delaware, Ontario and Quebec. It is currently only described from Saratoga National Historical Park in New York, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. This permanently inundated community occurs on floodplains with soils that are moderately well-drained to very poorly drained silt loam. Underlying bedrock is shale, siltstone, and sandstone in the Austin Glen, Mt. Merino, and Canajoharie formations. The vegetation of this herbaceous association is dominated by Leersia oryzoides with Scirpus atrovirens and Impatiens capensis occurring as fairly consistent associates. Additional associated species are Typha latifolia, Onoclea sensibilis, Verbena hastata, Mimulus ringens, Eutrochium maculatum, Thelypteris palustris, Polygonum sagittatum, Bidens connata, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Polygonum hydropiperoides, and Juncus effusus. Scattered tall shrubs (just over 2 m tall) can also be present; Rhamnus cathartica is the most abundant species.
