United States, Michigan, Wayne, Van Buren Twp., Vacant lot on south side of Yost Road at its terminus, about 0.25 mile east of Belleville Road; immediately east of a municipal salt storage area.
T. 3S, R. 8E, N1/2 NW1/4 Sect. 3
Low areas that have standing water in the spring. Soil highly saline due to years of runoff from adjacent salt storage facility. Associates: Spergularia media, Solidago sempervirens, Hordeum jubatum, Atriplex sp., Phragmites australis, Leptochloa fascicularis, Aster subulatus. Common in the western portion of the lot (i.e. closer to the salt storage facility). Forms dense stands. My first encounter with this species in southeastern Michigan.
