CEGL007835 Ludwigia peploides Aquatic Vegetation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Floating Primrose-willow Aquatic Vegetation
Colloquial Name: Floating Primrose-willow Aquatic Vegetation
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: These floating or stranded mats of Ludwigia peploides (including ssp. glabrescens and/or ssp. peploides) occur in shallow water of flats in slow-moving streams, shallow lakes, natural and artificial impoundments. Some common associates include Ammannia spp., Callitriche spp., Hydrolea quadrivalvis, Lycopus spp., Proserpinaca spp., Veronica spp., and other mat-forming obligate wetland species. Oklahoma associates include Cephalanthus occidentalis, Hibiscus laevis, Nelumbo lutea, Polygonum hydropiperoides, and Sagittaria latifolia.

Floristics: This association is primarily dominated by Ludwigia peploides (including ssp. glabrescens and/or ssp. peploides). Some common associates include Ammannia spp., Callitriche spp., Hydrolea quadrivalvis, Lycopus spp., Proserpinaca spp., Veronica spp., and other mat-forming, obligate wetland species. Oklahoma associates include Cephalanthus occidentalis, Hibiscus laevis, Nelumbo lutea, Polygonum hydropiperoides, and Sagittaria latifolia (Hoagland 2000).
Dynamics: No Data Available
Environmental Description: This vegetation occurs in shallow water of flats in slow-moving streams, shallow lakes, natural and artificial impoundments.
Geographic Range: This vegetation would be expected to occur in the Coastal Plain and adjacent interior provinces from possibly Georgia south and west to Texas, in the Upper Coastal Plain at least to Kentucky, in the Central Basin of Tennessee, and west to eastern and central Oklahoma. The nominal species is recorded from some states to the north to this projected range, but its occurrence there may be sporadic or of limited extent. It is found in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas, and possibly Arkansas (?).
