Dulichium arundinaceum (L.) Britton
Johnson County: T81N R5W Section 13 S2 NE4 NW4 NW4
A sandy pasture (owned by Howard Ciha) is approximately 5.5 miles
east/northeast of Solon. It is a mixture of open sand prairie, scattered oaks,
woods and shallow marshes. The soil is mapped as Chelsea loamy fine sand
(63), an Alfic Udipsamment. The pasture is about 0.75 mile north of the Cedar
River and on the Southern Iowa Drift Plain.
Dulichium arundinaceum is infrequent at the south edge of the south marsh
and in the floating mat in the marsh (the mat appears to have a peat soil). The
collection comes from the northeast portion of the mat. Dulichium
arundinaceum is associated with Carex sp. and Cephalanthus occidentalis.
