Name: Taxodium distichum / Cephalanthus occidentalis / Juncus repens Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occurs on the sandy and peaty, seasonally flooded shores of Lake Drummond, Virginia. Taxodium distichum forms an open canopy (averaging about 50% cover). The shrub stratum is dominated by Cephalanthus occidentalis and seedlings of Taxodium distichum, with Clethra alnifolia, Leucothoe racemosa, Toxicodendron radicans ssp. radicans, and Acer rubrum also present. Herbaceous species typical of forested swamps, such as Triadenum walteri, Bidens discoidea, and Cuscuta compacta, occupy the peaty bases of trees and shrubs. Larger areas of exposed sand support Juncus repens, Eleocharis quadrangulata, Panicum verrucosum, Fuirena pumila, Cyperus polystachyos var. texensis, Cyperus odoratus, Fimbristylis autumnalis, Lindernia dubia, Echinochloa muricata, and Panicum dichotomiflorum.
