Name: Nyssa biflora / Ilex myrtifolia / Carex glaucescens - Eriocaulon compressum Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: The canopy of this East Gulf Coastal Plain dome swamp community is strongly dominated by Nyssa biflora, often with scattered Taxodium ascendens, and sometimes low canopy height Ilex myrtifolia. The subcanopy is poorly developed, and consists of Ilex myrtifolia and Cyrilla parvifolia. Magnolia virginiana and Persea palustris may be present. Shrubs are typically not present or, at least, not abundant, but may include Lyonia lucida, Clethra alnifolia, Hypericum chapmanii, Hypericum brachyphyllum, Smilax laurifolia, and Smilax walteri. The herbaceous layer includes Eriocaulon compressum, Eriocaulon decangulare var. decangulare, Carex glaucescens, Lycopodiella alopecuroides, Coreopsis nudata, Juncus repens, Sabatia bartramii, Rhynchospora spp., Rhexia spp., Xyris spp., Woodwardia virginica, and Erigeron vernus. Tillandsia bartramii can be an abundant epiphyte. This association occurs in small seasonally to semipermanently flooded depressions surrounded by Pinus palustris - Pinus elliottii var. elliottii flatwoods. Fire periodically burns into the Nyssa ponds.  Accession Code: VB.CC.17972.NYSSABIFLORAILE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
