91 64 substratum. In the fresher lakes the two are almost always found alternating throughout the association which in Cherry Co. covers hundreds of acres about lakes and in wet valleys. In and about some of the lakes Zizania aquatica assumes the role of facies where it is developed in great beds which in position are usually behind both Scirpus and Phragmites . Occasionally Zizania occurs in extensive pure stands just in front of the Rush Meadow Association, but more frequently it occurs in mixture with Scirpus . The bright green of Zizania quite effectively differentiates it from both the Scirpus and Phragmites . Where the three are associated the color grade is Scirpus and very deark green, Phragmites lighter, and Zizania light green. Typha latifolia is a frequent member of the association as it occurs in the Sand Hills, but it seldom if ever assumes the importance of a facies, but may persist until late in the succession where present. Between the clumps of Scirpus and the bays between larger areas of Scirpus and Phragmites , and in scattered stands of Scirpus the other species of the association due to been seen in considerable abundance.
