Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Bagpod - Yellowseed False Pimpernel Sandbar Wet Meadow
Colloquial Name: Upper Gulf Coastal Plain Riverine Sandbar
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This sandbar vegetation occurs on temporarily flooded sandbars and shores of small to medium rivers of the Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain. The floristic composition consists largely of annual forbs. Sesbania vesicaria and Lindernia dubia are characteristic of known examples, but floristic composition is highly variable. Other herbaceous species include Alternanthera philoxeroides (exotic), Amaranthus spp., Chamaecrista fasciculata, Chamaecrista nictitans, Cynodon dactylon (exotic), Cyperus spp., Digitaria sanguinalis, Eragrostis spp., Fimbristylis vahlii, Ipomoea spp., Jacquemontia tamnifolia (exotic), Ludwigia glandulosa, Mollugo verticillata (exotic), Phyla nodiflora, Polygonum punctatum, Polypremum procumbens, Portulaca oleracea (exotic), Senna obtusifolia (exotic), Strophostyles helvola, and Xanthium strumarium.
