CEGL004328 Nuphar sagittifolia Aquatic Vegetation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Narrowleaf Pond-lily Aquatic Vegetation
Colloquial Name: Blackwater Narrowleaf Pond-lily Bed
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association consists of beds of the floating-leaved or submersed aquatic Nuphar sagittifolia. This vegetation is found in the Coastal Plain of North and South Carolina in deep waters (30-150 cm) of blackwater rivers, streams, and lakes, sometimes extending downstream into slightly tidal reaches of blackwater rivers. In rivers and streams, Nuphar sagittifolia is usually monospecific. In the only known lake occurrence (Lake Waccamaw, Columbus County, North Carolina), Nuphar sagittifolia is the dominant species, but other floating and submersed aquatics are present. This vegetation is associated with the acidic and tea-colored waters of blackwater systems.
