100 70 The Water Plant Formation The plants that comprise this formation may in most cases be classified into two vegetation forms: submerged aquatics and floating or free swimming forms. There are three well defined and widely distributed associations represented in this formation as it occurs in the Sand Hills. The Pondweed Association- This is the most frequent of the three associations and the one in which the individuals are most densely aggregated. Represented by one or more of its facies this association is developed to greater degree in the ponds and lakes of the northern portion of the region and to a lesser degree along rivers and spring branches wherever they are found. The facies are species of Potamogeton of which P. richardsonii , P. foliosus , P. zosterifolius , P. pectinatus , P. spirillus , and Myriophyllum spicatum , Ceratophyllum demersum , and Zannichellia palustris . In many of the ponds and lakes that are not to strongly alkaline combinations of these species are so abundant and luxuriant as to make boating very difficult, and in some lake well nigh impossible during late summer
