Colloquial Name: Coastal Plain Rosette Grass Pondshore
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This seasonally flooded wetland occurs on the North Atlantic Coastal Plain of New Jersey in topographically defined basins. The dominant species are Dichanthelium spretum, Dichanthelium dichotomum var. dichotomum, Panicum verrucosum, Panicum rigidulum var. pubescens, and Andropogon virginicus. Other associates include Amphicarpum purshii, Andropogon glomeratus, Carex striata var. brevis, Cyperus dentatus, Cyperus retrorsus, Drosera intermedia, Dulichium arundinaceum, Eleocharis olivacea, Eleocharis tricostata, Fimbristylis autumnalis, Hypericum canadense, Juncus canadensis, Juncus effusus, Juncus pelocarpus, Proserpinaca pectinata, Rhexia mariana, Rhynchospora chalarocephala, Scleria reticularis, Viola lanceolata, Xyris difformis var. difformis, and Sphagnum spp. This vegetation occurs on broad flats and gentle mid-slopes of ponds. The substrate is a thin organic horizon overtopping deep sand.
