Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Seasonally flooded wetlands dominated by ~Cornus foemina (= Cornus stricta)$. There currently is one very rare association known only from the Outer Banks of North Carolina; it occurs in peaty soil in old interdune swales. It is dominated by a canopy of ~Cornus foemina$, with much lesser amounts of ~Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Persea borbonia$, and ~Vaccinium stamineum$, generally with dense thickets of ~Berchemia scandens, Ampelopsis arborea, Smilax bona-nox, Smilax laurifolia$, and ~Smilax rotundifolia$. A sparse, emergent supercanopy of ~Pinus taeda$ is often present.
