• • • FINAL Saddle Club Rare Plant Survey 8 -20 -13 Kitten -tails (Besseya bullii) is a species of oak savanna communities, and also occurs in dry prairies and oak woodlands (including dry-mesic oak (maple) woodlands, dry -mesic oak - hickory woodlands, and dry- mesic pine -oak woodlands). Autumn fimbristylis (Fimbristylis autumnalis) occurs in slight depressions in the terrain that may have ponded water for much of the season and support tall, lush growth of Typha spp. (cattails) and Schoenoplectus spp. (bulrushes). Typically, F. autumnalis occurs at slightly higher elevations where the soil surface is only moist and the vegetation is dominated by short- stature Carex spp. (sedges). The substrate is usually sandy with perhaps a thin layer of organic material such as peat. Marginated rush (Juncus marginatus) is a species of shallow wetlands and wetland margins on the Anoka Sand Plain. Low - stature sedges and rushes usually dominate these habitats although scattered shrubs or clumps of shrubs, particularly Salix spp. (willows), Cornus spp. (dogwoods), and Rubus spp. (bristle- berries and dew - berries), may also be present. Tubercled rein - orchid (Platanthera (lava var. herbiola) occurs in wet prairies and meadows, swales in mesic prairies, or the sandy or peaty habitats along the edges of marshes, swamps, or lakeshores. Cross - leaved milkwort (Polygala cruciata var. aquilonia) occurs on wet, sandy shores of shallow lakes in the Anoka Sand Plain, and in sandy or peaty meadows or swales. These habitats may be in low depressions or at the margins of emergent wetlands. Tooth -cup (Rotala ramosior) typically occurs on the sandy shores of small, shallow lakes set in a savanna landscape. Bristleberry (Rubus stipulates) generally occurs on moist, sandy substrates in wetland to upland habitats, including bogs and bog margins, lake shores, swales, marshes and marsh margins, swamps, meadows and fields, sand prairies, woods, thickets, and roadsides. Vermont blackberry (Rubus vermontanus) is found in forest edges, grasslands, meadows and fields. Tall nut rush (Scleria triglomerata) is found in sand savannas and sand prairies, often in areas of sand dune formations. They are found in localized microhabitats at each site, usually in moist soil near wet swales or wet meadows. Clinton's bulrush (Trichophorum clintonii) typically occurs in open, sunny habitats in moist or dry, sandy or sandy -loam soils, although it may occur in partially shaded savanna or woodland settings. Lance - leaved violet (Viola lanceolata) occurs in moist meadows with a sandy substrate and moist swales in sand dunes and savannas. Twisted yellow -eyed grass (Xyris torta) occurs in wet, sandy shores of shallow lakes in the Anoka Sand Plain and in sandy or peaty meadows or swales.
