GENUS INDEX
GENUS CODE: UNIOL GENUS SCIENTIFIC:Uniola GENUS AUTHORITY: L. GENUS COMMON: Seaoats GENUS SUMMARY: A genus of 2 species. The only other species of the genus ranges from Baja California south along the Pacific Ocean to Ecuador; other species previously treated in Uniola have been shown to be only distantly related and are now treated as Chasmanthium. GENUS IDENTIFICATION: GENUS REFERENCES: Yates in FNA (2003a); Yates (1966a, 1966b)=Z. [also see Chasmanthium]
FAMILY INDEX
FAMILY CODE: POACEA FAMILY SCIENTIFIC:Poaceae FAMILY AUTHORITY: (R. Brown) Barnhart 1895 or GRAMINEAE A.L. de Jussieu 1789 FAMILY COMMON: Grass Family FAMILY SUMMARY: A family of about 771 genera and 12,074 species, herbs (and some shrubs and trees), cosmopolitan. Tribal classification largely follows FNA (2003a, 2007a), with some changes based on subsequent research, as for instance in the Chloridoideae (Peterson, Romaschenko, & Johnson 2010a). FAMILY REFERENCE: Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2003a, 2007a)=FNA; Hitchcock and Chase (1950)=HC; Blomquist (1948); Peterson, Romaschenko, & Johnson (2010a, 2010b). Key to genera adapted in large part from FNA.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Uniola paniculata
COMMON NAME: Sea Oats
SYNONYMY: [= C, F, FNA, G, HC, K, RAB, S, Va, WH3, Z]
PHENOLOGY: Jun-Nov.
HABITAT: Abundant on unforested primary and secondary dunes on barrier islands, and on dry to mesic sand flats and interdune swales.
COMMENTS: Se. VA south to FL and west to TX and Mexico; West Indies. This is the most important sand-binding grass on ocean dunes from NC south, playing a critical role in primary succession on dunes.
