Name: Nyssa biflora - (Liquidambar styraciflua) / Itea virginica / Saururus cernuus Forest Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community occurs in seasonally flooded low areas (stream channels) along small streams with intermittent flow in regions of very subdued topographic relief in the Outer Coastal Plain of South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and likely North Carolina and Georgia. The canopy consists of Nyssa biflora, sometimes with admixture of Liquidambar styraciflua. Herbs and shrubs are few, and these strata are poorly developed. Itea virginica, Leucothoe racemosa, and Clethra alnifolia are characteristic of the shrub layer. Saururus cernuus can be a common herb.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22500.NYSSABIFLORALIQ Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 4
