Name: Chamaecyparis thyoides / Cyrilla racemiflora - Cliftonia monophylla - Ilex coriacea Woodland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This wetland community is a saturated sparse woodland with 5-50% canopy of scattered Chamaecyparis thyoides, often with Nyssa biflora, Magnolia virginiana, and Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. The shrub layer is fairly open to very dense, and may contain Cyrilla racemiflora, Cliftonia monophylla, Lyonia lucida, Ilex coriacea, Ilex glabra, and Serenoa repens. The herb stratum includes species such as Rhynchospora spp., Carex lonchocarpa, Woodwardia areolata, and Sarracenia rubra ssp. gulfensis. Sphagnum spp. are often common. This community is associated with 'steephead streams' in the Florida Panhandle and adjacent Alabama, and shows some floristic, landscape, and conceptual similarities to Streamhead Atlantic White-cedar Forests of the Carolina Sandhills. Occurrences are normally linear, from 30-100 m wide, and extend along streams in saturated, highly acid, coarse-sandy situations.
