Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This forest occurs on temporarily flooded natural levees along blackwater rivers in northern Florida and perhaps elsewhere. The canopy is dominated by a mixture of Taxodium distichum and Betula nigra. The sparse subcanopy has species including Acer rubrum, Fraxinus caroliniana, and Cephalanthus occidentalis. The shrub layer is fairly well-developed, with Sebastiania fruticosa the most commonly occurring species, and also with Amorpha fruticosa, Hypericum prolificum, Vaccinium elliottii, and Cyrilla racemiflora. Scattered herbs include Rhynchospora colorata and Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis.
