68 In alkali situations it is common to find Triglochin maritima and Plantago eriopoda . The former often froms a very tenacious sod in soils that are so alkaline as to have salts separated out on the surface. Distichlis spicata is also often found in such situations covering wide areas with a characteristic close sod to the exclusion of all other plants. Distichlis spicata is also very commonly present in a dune - soddy layer. Menyanthes trifoliata is common in low Rush meadows where it forms characteristic low patches of closely aggregate plants. Gerardia besseyana is frequently very abundant in small areas where the rushes and sedges are more open The dark purplish areas are quite clearly set out by color form the surrounding vegetation.
