Name: Lyonia lucida - Ilex glabra Saturated Wooded Shrubland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance encompasses pocosins on saturated mineral or organic soils. This is the typical high pocosin or tall pocosin of peatlands and wet mineral soils of the Coastal Plain of the Carolinas and Virginia; its range extends south to Georgia and northern Florida. Pinus serotina individuals are scattered and more-or-less stunted. Typical shrubs, forming a dense tangle with abundant Smilax laurifolia, are Lyonia lucida, Ilex glabra, Ilex coriacea, Persea palustris, Cyrilla racemiflora (absent in occurrences at the northern limit of the range in southeastern Virginia), and sometimes Kalmia carolina. Other component shrubs can include Clethra alnifolia, Vaccinium formosum, Gaylussacia frondosa (= var. frondosa), Kalmia cuneata, Photinia pyrifolia (= Aronia arbutifolia), Chamaecyparis thyoides, Acer rubrum var. trilobum, Morella cerifera (= Myrica cerifera var. cerifera), Lyonia ligustrina var. foliosiflora, Magnolia virginiana, Rhus copallinum, Rhododendron viscosum, and Toxicodendron radicans.
