Name: Cyrilla racemiflora - Ilex coriacea - (Cliftonia monophylla) Saturated Shrubland Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance consists of evergreen shrublands of the southeastern Coastal Plain (Atlantic Coastal Plain, East and West Gulf coastal plains, and occasionally adjacent provinces). Cyrilla racemiflora, Ilex coriacea, and Cliftonia monophylla (within its range) are characteristic. Other characteristic shrubs (although some are absent in portions of the alliance's distribution) include Ilex glabra, Ilex myrtifolia, Lindera subcoriacea, Lyonia lucida, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Morella caroliniensis (= Myrica heterophylla), Morella inodora (= Myrica inodora), Persea palustris, Smilax laurifolia, Alnus serrulata, Toxicodendron vernix, and Vaccinium formosum. In some situations, stunted Magnolia virginiana may be a component; emergent Pinus elliottii var. elliottii and/or Taxodium ascendens may be present. Communities in this alliance occur in poorly drained flats in the Outer Coastal Plain, along lake- or pondshores, where the water table is maintained in at least a seasonally saturated condition by the water body, and in seepages in rolling hill landscapes of the Coastal Plain (often associated with and adjacent to herbaceous seepage bogs). Some types occur over peats or other sapric soil types. Occurrences expand or contract in size under different fire regimes.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18219.CYRILLARACEMIFL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
