Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: (Broad-fruit Horned Beaksedge, Narrow-fruit Horned Beaksedge) Marsh
Colloquial Name: Coastal Plain Beaksedge Depression
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: These are seasonally flooded upland depressions dominated by Rhynchospora inundata and/or Rhynchospora careyana found in the southeastern Coastal Plain of the United States from North Carolina to Florida. This is a broadly defined type, and additional types may be developed as more information becomes available. Some additional species that may be present in stands of this type include Panicum hemitomon, Panicum verrucosum, Rhynchospora cephalantha, Rhynchospora filifolia, Andropogon capillipes, Xyris fimbriata, Xyris sp., Lachnanthes caroliana, Fuirena sp., Lycopodiella appressa, Eupatorium leptophyllum, Pontederia cordata, Solidago latissimifolia, and Triadenum virginicum. Floating aquatic plants such as Nymphaea odorata and Nymphoides aquatica may be present. The low cover of woody plants may be provided by Hypericum brachyphyllum and seedlings of Pinus elliottii.
