The canopy consists primarily of Persea palustris, Ficus aurea, Magnolia virginiana, Salix caroliniana, Annona glabra, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera), Chrysobalanus icaco, and Ilex cassine. The shrub layer includes Sambucus canadensis (= Sambucus simpsonii), Myrsine floridana, and Psychotria tenuifolia. Herbaceous species include Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Acrostichum danaeifolium, Blechnum serrulatum, Dicliptera sexangularis, Nephrolepis exaltata, Thelypteris kunthii, Rivina humilis, Habenaria odontopetala, and Melothria pendula.
