Description: This forest type includes wet forests of Florida that are flooded by river overbank flow, and are dominated by a combination of Taxodium distichum and Nyssa biflora. Sabal palmetto and Acer rubrum are also typically present in the subcanopy, with Itea virginica and a variety of evergreen small trees and shrubs in various woody strata (e.g., Persea palustris, Ilex cassine, Morella cerifera, and Lyonia lucida). Other shrub and herb components vary among stands. The epiphytes Tillandsia bartramii and Tillandsia usneoides are typically present. This community occurs in sloughs and depressions in seasonally flooded Coastal Plain riverine settings.
