Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Saltmeadow Cordgrass - Marsh Bristlegrass - Beach Marsh-pennywort Marsh
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association represents herbaceous interdune wetland depressions on barrier islands, dominated by Spartina patens and Setaria parviflora, sometimes with scattered Baccharis angustifolia. The herb layer consists of species with maritime and calcareous affinities (some brackish influence from salt aerosol and hurricane overwash). Other characteristic species include Rhynchospora colorata, Cynanchum angustifolium, Panicum virgatum, Sabatia stellaris, Morella cerifera, Sabal palmetto, and Dichanthelium aciculare. This type occurs in Alabama and Florida and possibly as far north as South Carolina.
