Freshwater Marsh and Wet Prairies
Marshes are treeless areas that retain water throughout most of the year. Characteristic plants are sawgrass, pickerel weed, fire flag, maidencane, buttonbush, smartweed, and spike rush. Wet prairies are seasonally flooded transitional areas between freshwater marshes and pine flatwoods and are dominated by slough grass, broomsedge, and beak rush.
