It is dominated by Quercus palustris in association with Acer rubrum, Carya ovata, Fraxinus americana, Fraxinus nigra, Nyssa sylvatica, and Quercus bicolor. The shrub layer is dominated by Carpinus caroliniana, Cornus amomum, Ilex verticillata, Lindera benzoin, and Viburnum dentatum. Abundant species in the herbaceous layer include Boehmeria cylindrica, Carex bromoides, Carex stricta, Cinna arundinacea, Leersia oryzoides, Lycopus uniflorus, Osmunda regalis, Onoclea sensibilis, Pilea pumila, Packera aurea (= Senecio aureus), and Toxicodendron radicans. Its relation to pin oak swamps elsewhere in West Virginia and in other states has not been determined.
